Hi,

Just a quick question... I bought a Network General Distributed
Sniffer Server from an auction... It had all sorts of network
ports on it... 2 NICs with 100BaseTX and Coax, and a bizarre card
(that had it's own intel i960 proc on-board) with 2 d-sub
connectors... 25 Pin Female and 15 pin Female)... Might this be
a mysterious WAN card for sniffing PPP with the Distributed
Sniffer Server?

sounds like a X.21 (15 pin) and X.21bis (25 pin) port to me, probably
to sniff on X.25 connections.
