This is basically impossible.
If your tapper has any brains at all, {s}he will use a hi-z tap
that even a TDR will miss midst the returns from small cable
kinks, bends etc.

Your options:
1) encrypt all traffic 
2) protect the etherhose
	a) Post guards every 25 metres [don't laugh...]
	b) run fiber inside inner rigid conduit. Run it inside
	larger one. Fill space between with neurotoxins under
	pressure......

Make LAN sniffing -- particularly password snooping -- a terminal
offense -- issue written notices such snooping will result in the
immediate dismissal of the responsible parties.

Divide your ethernet up into several segments using smart routers
-- isolate sensitive people/machines onto a relatively secure leg
of your ethernet -- put known snoopers on their own isolated leg.

Forbid indescriminant ethernet snooping -- only permit monitoring
for debugging purposes when filtering for some specific source and 
destination address -- forbid packet sniffing by pc's -- require
all packet sniffing to be done via authorized accounts on audited
host systems such as sun systems with full logging turned on.

   Does anyone know of any software available that will detect a

   I am looking at the ability to detect a tap in an ethernet cable and
   have the software notify a network admin. We have etherhostprobe, which
   works fine after the fact, but I am looking for something that monitors
   the line and detects a tap or new device in real time.

   I am a novice at the physical aspects of ethernet. i.e., I am not
   sure if it is even possible to detect such a thing. I assume that it is
   possible to detect a voltage drop across the line or something similar.
   Or perhaps detect new ethernet packets as soon as they hit the wire.

   Does anyone know of any products or methods for doing this sort of thing?

You may want to check up on TDR's, that is, Time Delay Reflectometers.
There things send a pulse down the line and listen for echos off of
tee's and improper terminations and stuff.  They're primarily a
maintainernce tool to find breaks, but they *might* be able to detect
another host as another 'blip'.  You would have to have one on the
line sending a pulse every 10 sec or whatever delta t is small enough
for security and large enough to get 'real' packets through...

I've read _Moon Dance_ which is a book about werewolves.  The cover
claims that the book "does for Werewolves what Anne Rice did for

introduction like that, but I really liked it.  Of course that doesn't

		I also heard that there was another "coin" episode later...
	Magic Pocketwatch - the episode where this clock magically gained

			    During this 13th hour, time stood still, but

	Vanity - The Episode that had the singer/actress Vanity in it.
		 There was a crazed fan that was obsessed with her, and
	         at the end of the episode, actually BECAME her... errie. :-)
	Magic Ball - You know those things that you see around Christmas
	             time that has the little building inside it, and when
		     you shake it up, it makes it look like it is snowing?
		     Well, this episode was about a magical doohicky like

	Please, anyone that remembers these. Please email me...

They've included this ad on the collectors' edition laserdisc, after the 
film (it might be on the tape as well, I'm not sure).

It's pretty cool, but I prefer the Italian trailer which they've also 
put on the disc.
