Not a hub, but a different solution - a network "tap". They're designed to do exactly what you're looking for - allow sniffing of traffic from a link. Most taps require you to sniff the traffic on 2 ports, one for each direction. However NetOptics (and probably others) do a range of taps that aggregate the traffic onto a single cable. -- Rob | Oh my God! They killed init! You bastards!
