Hi all

I'm looking for a LAN analyser for our daily work here in Ascom. I
checked also such tools on pc side, e. g. shomiti and NetXRay.

But I was really impressed when I saw the wide spectrum of features
which are supported of your analyser.

What are the hardware requirements for a pc to use ethereal? What speed
should the clock have if I want to
analyse a 100M Ethernet? And how big should my memory be, 32MB, 64MB or
128MB?

What kind of PPP is supported? Is PPP(PAP) also supported?

Where can I get an overview for all supported protocols?

Thanks in advance. I wish you merry x'mas and a happy new year and no
Millennium bugs....;-)

Cheers
Christoph
