In attempting to diagnose a communications problem, we'd like to be able to take
an Ethereal capture file and send it out over the wire again. Has anyone wriiten
a utility that may be able to  do this? (Note that it is acceptable if the
source MAC address is different and any corresponding CRC, but the rest of the
frames must be the same.)

If such a utility does not exist, where can I find help in writing a program to
accomplish this? The packets we are intersted in have been identified by
Ethereal as LLC packets which means I must be able to work at a level lower than
IP. That's about the limit of my knowledge.

And, no, this program would not be run on a live network!

Thanks,
Dave
