Hey Brian,

The one I like is wireshark (whether there's still an open source version I
dunno), multiprotocol and with ao feature I just loved... it could umm
unencode SIP packets back to a wav file... I like stuff like that :).

Oh how I miss rocking up to site with my protocol analyzer to shred someones
DPNSS implementation

:)

Hi all,

I don't know what anyone has said up to now about network analysis, but I
have only just discovered 'etherape' and just needed to rave about it. I
used to write network analysis tools for X25 when I worked for Plessey and
always planned to write something like this but never got round to it.

Hi Peter,

 Just checking I am still connected

That you emails are generally getting to their destination?  Things like
http://mailinator.com/ can be useful for that.  That you haven't been
missing out on posts to the list?  Either Mailman's own archive or the
public one will show what others have been sending.

Cheers,
Ralph.

As was mentioned, Wireshark was/is a tremendous tool and all the better
for being free. I could never have afforded enough copies of a tool for
a student lab. One of the tools that we had was $25,000 in the full
version!

Wireshark also does a display like that shown for Etherape. 

So -  I take it you were writing Network analysis tools for X.25 at
Plessey while I was working on the network management software for the
2500 Packet switch range?   Didn't we have an Atlantic Research box or a
Tektronix box that also did that?

[Dorset] Use of Visual Basic

2010-11-10 Thread C A Wills

Just been asked a question:- can you use VB in Linux?
I said I did not know but thought you might but may have to via Wine.
Anyone know the correct answer please?
I'm trying to get him to switch to full time Linux (ex Windows user from 
Windows via DOS and Lotus Notes).

Tried Gambas? It's a VB like language.
I too missed VB, but as it's so dead and not as powerful as FLOSS languages
(had a look at Qt Creator or pyGTK?) I wouldn't go back.
