Now that we have our lan, we would like to start identifing the
hog applications that seem to bring the network to a crawl.Any recomendations 
(less than $500)?

There are a few software packages I saw in the InterOP-89 show. However,
I would still recommend to spend more and buy a "real thing":
get HP LanProbe (a box which you hook up to your network) and a PC-based
software (ProbeView). It will pay off in a long run. Please notice that I am
not in sales.

     If you decide that you really must save money the CABLETRON LAN 
Specialist is a pretty fair troubleshooting and network monitoring
tool. 
     Personally I'd go for the HP but they are not worth the cost.
