I have read the discussion that ensued from my original question with
great interest. However, to save time, I am still hoping to be able to
use BPF on Solaris. Anyone out there who knows what I need to do to
set up a Solaris machine with BPF support? An URL maybe? I can use
either Solaris 9 or 10, whatever works best with BPF.

Best regards,
