Mention of netmon has reminded me, the most useful tool when I was
getting the AUN version of BeebEm Econet working was Ethereal, running
on an old laptop sniffing the packets travelling between my A500 and
RISC PC.. With just that information, and a knowledge of the econet
packet format, I was able to add the translation layer, making what
the emulated BBC Micro thought was traditional Econet operate like AUN
on the wire, and thus allow interoperability with the newer Ethernet
based machines!

It was so thrilling when the first *CAT succeeded -
