The Network General Sniffer is actually software that was produced by
Network General and yes it is trademarked. It will run on just about any PC
and or Notebook. You do not have to buy the platform that the Sniffer will
run on. You just have to buy the software and the board from Network
General. Actually they prefer not to sell you the platform, but they do
just to package everything.
