You might also want to look at Network General's Sniffer. They support a large number of protocols, as well as displaying of the packet in hex/ascii/ ebcidic dumps. I know they have XNS and I think TCP/IP. They also support writting your own protocol disassemblers (in C). Finally, they also support filtering of the packets on various criteria. Their number is (408) 734-0464. Jerry Whitnell Communication Solutions, Inc.
