Try to snag an older version. I picked up Etherpeek 3.0 for $50 from a used
software store on-line. Works fine, or you can do linux/MacBSD and get a
sniffer for free. No pretty X interface though.

I'd
I've got an
SE/30 I use as a packet sniffer with Etherpeek. Or just toss
linux on one (The SE/30, SE's won't run linux)
Hey! I like that idea! I've got a SE/30 with a SCSI-Ethernet adapter,
not thought of turning it into a Sniffer, and I've
been wanting to build
one for when I want to see what's going on with my network. I'd never
even
thought of using a Mac for that, I'd been planning
on getting an older PC
laptop for that. Actually if I were to use a Mac, I'd probably go with my
PowerBook 540c that I don't use much any more.
GACK!!!! $995.00 Suggested Retail price?!?!? I don't suppose you know of
any *affordable* sniffer's for the Mac? It looks like a beauty, and even
does DECnet (so it does everything I'd need from the looks of it), but
that's way to much for hobbyist use.
