Ahh I think that may be what I was looking for, thanks.  I note that
the man page says it won't support IPv6 but will this work for other
ethernet types or must it be IPv4.  What I really want is the ability
to put a small plan9 box (like a soekris for starters) in between two
hosts or a host and a switch then run snoopy on the conversation.
