For example, say you would like to snoop the following configuration
partyA ---cableAB--- partyB
where partyA is a computer and partyB is a computer/modem/digi-cam/whatever.
A third machine called "console" running snooper can be used to snoop

the connection between partyA and cableAB, as follows:
partyA ---cableX--- <dev0>console<dev1>---cableAB--- party B
2003-04-27 17:32:14 +02:00
cableX must be cross-cable (a cable to connect two computers).
