The following is an alternative which may satisfy your requirements.
NodeInfo v1 was reviewed and recommended by PC Magazine (Network
Edition,
June 28th, 1994 - "NodeInfo Solves a Fundamental Problem"). To quote
the reviewer, "The simplicity of NodeInfo is amazing; the fact that it
is the only application of its kind is doubly so. ... NodeInfo's
connection-monitoring features are a bargain for any LAN -- large or
small."
NodeInfo v2 has been significantly enhanced and expanded upon.
A fully functional thirty (30) day evaluation can be found on
