	OK I'll suck a copy down and install and run it. I spent last night 
identifying operator error (using a capture snap length of 1510 instead of
1520 on an ethernet) to find why tcpreplay had lost 4 bytes on a couple of 
captured and replayed packets. So I have 2 out of 3 of my test machines back
and thus has one to generate tcpreplay traffic anywhere up to 100 and another
(as well as our sniffer at slower speeds since it starts losing packets 
silently at about 10) and a router that will produce rmon interface counts at
wire speed for control so I can start verifying both packet count accuracy
and speed capability. At some point I'll do the install on Solaris 7 as well
so I can compare FreeBSD and Solaris output from the same input stream as 
well.
