    Is there anyone out there who can point me in a direction to learn
    about how our DECmcc products and strategy compare to the following
    network managements products that my customer thinks is the greatest 
    since slice bread.  He unfortunately did not go to DECWORLD and did not
    see DECmcc so he thinks it's all vapor ware like what some trade rags
    are saying.  If anyone can proved some info on the products (good and
    bad) so I can head off the customer from buying a bunch of point
    solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    
    
    What's the scope on:
    
    	*HP's LanPro
    	*NetWork Progessional by TE Conepts
    	*Novell Lanturn
    	*WatchTower (don't know who sells it)
    	*Micro Lans (runs on Sun workstations)
    	*Novell's Lanalizer
    
Thanks,
    Cindy

    Most (maybe all) of the product you describe abouve are ethernet
    packet analysers (aka "frame chasers").  They utilize a box (oftern
    a PC) with a high speed promiscusious mode ethernet board that catches
    each ethernet packet.  Statistics for protocol usages, source and
    destination statistics, error rates. etc. are compiled and produced
    as reports, raw data and moving graphs.  
    
    Some of the packages will even take protocol specific packets apart
    and report on their contents.
    
    The product above call themselves network management systems, but they
    are primarily used in LAN fault isolation, preformance anaylsis.
