I was able to port the more recent version of tcpdump, 2.0, to the IRIX
snoop(7) network interface.  Moreover, the developers of tcpdump have
cleaned up the code some so that there are not the memory alignment
problems that there were before.  Tcpdump now recognizes several different
packet semantices (sp?): this makes it a more useful tool than before.

You can find tcpdump 2.0 with support for IRIX on babar.mmwb.ucsf.edu
[128.218.21.42] in ~ftp/pub/tcpdump2.0.tar.Z

	Good Luck.
