Not totally correct.
At least under Win2k professional, I was able to install the netmon device
without having netmon.
The procedure is is explained at http://winpcap.polito.it/misc/dialup.htm.
I don't make this page public yet because I don't know if the procedure
works on other machines/OSes (NT4, XP...) and, if it works, I don't know to
enable it on different OSes.
Therefore, I will be happy to receive feedback from the users that try it.
