I have not had much time to do any docs or anything so just
run 'make' and hopefull yit will compile if it does not then
mail me the output from the compiler here are some things that
might make it work 
*	The linux kernel header files should be in
	/usr/include/linux
	if you do not have a directory there try the following
	ln -s <path to the kernel source>/include/linux /usr/include/linux
	that is if your kernel source directory is in /usr/src/linux

I have not had time to do an install for the program yet so just
run it in the currect directory and it should make a directory called
output and put any logged data in there


Features

*	A ncurses user interface. 
*	Network statistics to view the amount of packets and data in many

*	View and log ICMP packets.
*	View and log the 48bit arp protocol.
	And also view what make of network card is in each machine

	captureing methods.
*	View and log the following user space protocols
	FTP, POP3, HTTP

*	To get the program to work you will need to have a C compiler and 
	the linux pthreads libary
*	Some knowledge of C would be useful if you get compile errors. 
*	root access to a linux machine or to be able to create raw sockets
