Not to be too combative, but the above is not correct in that Novell's
product supports Appletalk and TCP/IP in addition to our own protocols.
NetSight, Triticom's whatever its called, and LANalyzer for NetWare have
all gotten good reviews in pubs, who came out on top depends on which
magazine you prefer. I certainly wasn't trying to say that Novell's
product is the only one to consider. I prefer it, but then again I'm
biased in the matter.
In the low price analyzer market there are a bunch of quite nice
products, and I think everyone should select one based on a number of factors,
including what protocols you need, whether you prefer a Windows or DOS
product, and what other features the various gadgets offer that you are
looking for.
