- I have an HP 9000/730 available to me and I was wondering if HP-UX (A.08.07)
- allowed the placing of its network controllers (Ethernet, FDDI, etc)
- into promiscuous mode like can be done under SunOS and Ultrix. I have a need
- for looking at raw network packets and would prefer it if I didn't have to
- obtain access to a Sniffer. Any pointers would be greately appreciated.

- Thanks in advance
