A network portable - now that's an idea!
The one I have been looking at is Toshiba's Libretto 50CT. Small, lightweight, costs about $700, and runs FreeBSD (I am sure linux also), Win95 etc. Has a pcmcia slot, so you can get a NIC, and have tcpdump also :)

The Mitsubishi Amity/CN looks interesting, similar idea. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | http://www.world.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo*
Yeah, it runs linux, which was the first operating system I saw on a Libretto 2 years ago. I currently use a linux laptop with an ethernet card as our sniffer here, but I'd kill for the features of a network general. All in all though, you can't beat the price, and anyone handy with C and/or perl can either wrapper or add functionality to whatever freely available sniffer source there is out there.

We just got a Toshiba 300cds.. works very nicly with linux.. only one thing I don't like about it is that it has a software bios that can only be setup from windows and dos... so we just installed windows, setup the bios the way we wanted to, and installed linux... The only other problem we had was trying to get X to work since toshiba won't tell us what kind of chipset there is in the video card... took a whild to get it to work, but X11R6 was the only X server we could get to work at 8x6 in 24 bit...
