Is anyone aware of pd software that would turn a workstation (U*ix, VMS, MS-DOS, or Mac) into an Ethernet protocol analyzer? Thanks for your help. Bill Wine biwine@vassar.bitnet

Bill, A quick scan of RFC 1147 did not turn up a product that would exactly satisfy your request. There is, however, a publically available package that monitors ethernet traffic and displays header fields. It's called "Netwatch". According to RFC 1147, Netwatch is available as a utility program in the pcip distribution from host husc6.harvard.edu, in directory pub/pcip. Its also available as a standalone package from windom.ucar.edu, in file pc/network/netwatch.arc. (A binary "dearc" program is also available from windom.ucar.edu.)
