Especially considering that most TDR boxen I've seen sort of screw the cable while they're running - all those electromagnetic sonar pulses sort of piss off anything trying to transmit at the time. ;) If you're *really* concerned about sniffers on your Ethernet, just take that little 50ohm terminator on the end off - the bits will leak out before the sniffer can see them. Make sure you put the end of the cable in a bucket so the bits dont get all over the floor... Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Tech
