Network sniffer

I am going to be replacing an old C-Executive system with a QNX 4.25 system.
The old system talks to an HP 9000 via TCP/IP, and I would like to replicate
this interface using QNX. To help with this, I want to hang a sniffer on the
network, and record the traffic between the HP and C-Exec systems for a
while. If anyone can recommend a good sniffer package that will run on a
laptop under Windows, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kevin

I use Ethereal on my laptop. A version also comes with Redhat Linux.

Hm… or “netsniff” on QNX? Though, that isn’t neccessarily a “good”
sniffer.
