I have had considerable success using Etherpeek on the Mac, and would warmly
recommend it as well finished,functional and configurable program. I feel that
Ethereal has more or less caught up, and is in the process of overtaking
proprietary packet analysers. What do others think? Is this a case of
rose-tinted spectacles? Is there a comparison of different analysers out there?
Is there is a list of known deficiencies of Ethereal?
