PupWatch
PupWatch is a tool for observing Pup traffic on an Ethernet. It is especially useful for debugging Pup communications problems.
It will work with either a 3MB net or a 10MB net. By default, it looks at the first Ethernet board connected to your machine. If you have more than one, you can use the Interpreter to adjust PupWatch.network. PupWatch.network.next is the second Ethernet board.
There are a handful of switches to select which types of packets get printed. Feel free to add another if you need it.
The implementation is pretty crufty. If you want another instance you have to run it again, and chew up another GFI. You can have several instances active at the same time.
