I'm not aware of any simple approach to the problem, nor of any tool that does it for you. It is not an easy problem, to attempt to debug the internal state of a piece of network gear by prodding it with packets from a distance. Even if you can log in to the gear in question, it still isn't always easy. And all network people say "it isn't our gear" by default, the same as everyone else :-) -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
