  On our large site we have several Ethernets that are
  interconnected via MAC level bridges on a backbone network.
  On these LAN's different protocols are used :
     TCP/IP , DECNET , COSMOS , etc...
  We expect to add in ISO protocols , plus (perhaps) XNS .

 I am SEARCHING for a portable monitoring system able to :
   
   * Execute all basic monitoring functions like  error ,   
     traffic statistics, reflection , report any faults ....
   * Monitor traffic from a specific user , if possible to 
     check the correctness of his protocol.
   * Act as a traffic generator for any protocol .
   * Force collisions for test purposes.

 We have already an ICL monitor (not very portable) and an 
 IBM/PC with the 3 COM board and the MIT package.

 Can anyone point us to a product that fits more or less our
 wish list ?
 
 Please reply via UUCP directly to me.  I will post a summary if I
 get useful information .
