What kind of system? On linux and probably several other unix-like systems you could (if you had permission) parse the /proc/net/arp file. Granted this isn't terribly far off from parsing the output of 'arp -a', but at least it keeps you from spawning a shell to run the 'arp -a' in. -- Frank Stutzman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
