Oh please, don't even complain about the W&G analyzers. When you want to
decode packets in real time, (not capture/stop/look/hope) you need a
W&G. It does multiple realtime decodes on LAN and WAN while you watch.
And BTW Network General/Network Ass. never did develop a analyzer for
the Windows enviroment. The NG salesmen kept saying that product was
coming. The way Network General developed it was to buy Cinco Systems
that had a analyzer product called NetXray. And then for some reason NG
took out the real time decode window that Netxray had. I have no idea
why they did that. I think that Network Ass. got interested in other
markets and products and did not pay close attention to the analyzer
market, so that made them slow to go to a Windows based product.
