Hi Richard,

If you only need 100M ethernet, have some RJ45 jacks or plugs, and the
appropriate crimping/punchdown tool, you can probably make a passive one
yourself. These days you can buy the parts you need from a hardware store
electrical aisle. Effectively it's a Y-interface where one connector only
has receive wires.

You might need to use ifconfig or equivalent to force the port "up" on the
sniffing computer.

John
