It can take a packet out, modify it and re-insert it. Neat potentials there! At work I have a Fluke LanMeter which can't sniff anything, but it's got all kinds of diagnostic tools in it to find out utilization, errors, etc..... ObHack: Putting two internal HDs in a Mac IIsi, which was designed for only one internal. Had to hack out some bits of the case structure to fit them in, but there it sits, humming happily. Hope the power supply doesn't burn out! ObTokenHack: Anything I do at work involving our Token ring.
