Gee wiz! Joe Peck of HP Telecommunications goes to Uniforum and discovers that
his own product is useful in debugging a network. How thrilling! Finally a
TCP/IP decoder is available and it amazes the very designers of the product.
James Van B. of FTP spends valuable net time touting his own product, admitting
its limited 254 packet buffer but stand by-- he's already working on another
release.
This sort of crass self promotion should stop. If Mr. Peck wants to respond
to a query about how PING works and can be used, great. His blatant ad for
the "born again" HP4972A should be banned from the net.
Respectfully yrs.... Harry Saal (from NGC, manufacturer of the Sniffer)
Claimer: the above are entirely the opinions of my employer Network General.
