Hi Stephen,

I am trying to find a replacement for an important tool I use
on a frequent basis.   I have been very clear about what
I am after.

If you do not understand what I am after, please just ask me instead
of insulting me.

I use nmap ALL THE TIME.  If you know the "network" involved, it
is an awesome tool.  But, if you are looking for stray or misconfigured
devices with a different network on the same interface, they will be
dark to nmap.  In this scenario, the only tool I have found that
can do this is Autoscan.

Autoscan does.  But for how much longer ...

Hopefully, I do not have to go that route.  This can be done from software,
as Autoscan demonstrates.

I may have to keep a copy of SL7.2 and FC23 around for years just to
run Autoscan.  Oh well, what is a one more flash drive to add to the pile
I already have.

Tip: keep a dd copy of your flash drive.  Windows machines tend to eat them.

"mac-ping".  That sounds interesting.

I should put Autoscan on Wireshark and find out exactly what it does.

Thank you for helping me with this, except for the insults
