I reckon it's already saved me about a week of debug time on one thorny issue. It's everything that SunOS "etherfind" could be if somebody focussed a couple of person-years of intensive effort on it, but it's here and now. (Mind you, if somebody DID write an "ultrafind" for the Sun it would be a lot cheaper for most of us... Network General charges more for a Compaq than we do for a 3/50....:-) -- "You want a disclaimer form? Next window, please..."
