Did I miss a post? Where did ATM and Ethernet come into this? I thought we were talking about 3600 Ethernet interfaces, not network modules...
I don't know what type of traffic you're looking to sniff - obviously layer 2 since we're talking frames vs. cells, ATM vs. Ethernet, but if you're looking to MONitor a traffic from a non-source, non-destination workstation, wouldn't that indicate an RMON probe like NI's Observer? Using an RMON probe wouldn't require you to occupy the other router interface, just connected to that network on the switch or hub...
