Peek is available from APDA and is included in the Inside AppleTalk publication. That's just as well cause you need to be pretty familiar with "Inside AppleTalk" to be able to use Peek. Peek captures all data packets and has switches that allow you to capture LAP and RTMP packets as well. After the you have captured the packets corresponding to the event you are monitoring, Peek displays the packet contents in hex and decimal. The company I work for, Farallon, also has a couple of net monitoring tools that work a bit differently. CheckNET is a tool that allows you to display all network entities that have an NBP name. TrafficWatch is a statistical monitoring tool and display package. If you would like more information about these products, call the number below. -- Kurt VanderSluis Voice: (415) 849-2331 Farallon Computing Email: farallon@well.UUCP 2150 Kitteridge AppleLink: D0162 Berkeley CA 94704 FAX: (415) 841-5770
