> is there a way to detect collisions on an ethernet?

I don't think all of the "raw packet access" mechanisms on various
UNIXes have ways of telling their clients that collisions have occurred;
you may have to use whatever mechanism "netstat" uses on your particular
UNIX to determine how many collisions have occurred while you're
listening.
