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
the following forums:

    CIS:      GO LANUTILS (NVENB - Library 17 - Avanti Technology)
    internet: ftp://ftp.avanti-tech.com/pub/users/a/avanti-tech/

in the Pk.ZIP archive file:

  nodeinfo.zip
