low-level IO question...

[Mathisen]

  I have a mVAX II running ULTRIX 2.0.  I want to write a program that
will do 'promiscuous' viewing of all the ethernet traffic so I can get some
statistics like packet sizes, proportion of one type of packet to another
and other things.  I assume that I'll have to open the device as root so I
can read it, but after that I can't seem to find the right system calls to
put 'er all together.  I've watched this done on a mVAX II running VMS 4.7,
and the only privilege needed was PHYSIO, but the Unix version has got me
stumped.

Thanx.
