Hello David,

Don't laugh: I use 3c501 ethernet cards. The capture I sent to you was 
carried over the ethernet from my FreeBSD box. However, I doubt that's 
the problem, as I've observed inbound data (via serial/PPP) with this 
same quirk.

Being new to FreeBSD I'm going to ask what might be a stupid question, 
but is it possible to trace IP packets coming in and out of my FreeBSD 
box, on the box itself?

Cheers.
