I think the software you are looking for is "Peek".  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.
