Interested in setting up some FreeBSD boxes here as RMON probes,
especially since the alternatives are pricey. Does SW exist which will
do this? I didn't find any mention in 2.2.6 ports collection. 

Also, I understand the 3com 3c905 has onboard RMON capabilities of
some sort; could this be exloited?  100Mbps cards with RMON built-in
for US$60 running on FreeBSD seem like it would make excellent probes.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.
