the lancity NCP box that i've got via mediaone is a smart
bridge: i only see packets directed towards my mac or the
broadcast. HOWEVER, one can easily snarf someone else's
packets with a few send_arp games (make them think that
the upstream router has a mac addr of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
This will give you at least a few minute of sniffing until
you need to "refresh" their cache.
