Dave, if you want a 12 port Cisco Catalyst 100 Mbit switch, let me know. I don't know the first thing about configuring a Cisco switch for port mirroring but I do know it is possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af4d_fAkwAY *Chris McQuistion* Director of Information Technology Currey Ingra

You're right. I've thought of all kinds of other options since I sent my initial message and I also realize that my message was incomplete. The device actually is using wireless so I could also have used a router with dd wrt or maybe set up a linux machine with wireless as an access point (as
