BPF, I believe.  By the way, did any of those IBM guys get back
to you about giving you more info about AIX BPF?

I think Shantala was trying to capture on /dev/tr0, which is
Token Ring.  I just reviewed a post of mine on tcpdump-workers:
http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2000/msg00004.html

The second parameter for dlbindreq should not be less
than 0x600 for Ethernet.  I wonder if must be a different
value for Token Ring (if that is actually the interface which
Shantala is trying to capture on).
