Hi -
HP-UX (and MPE before it IIRC) has a utility called "linkloop" which
will send an 802.2 test frame to a specified MAC and check for a
response:
# tcpdump -i lan0 -v -x ether src 0:15:60:ae:a9:fb or ether dst 0:15:60:ae:a9:fb
tcpdump: listening on lan0
11:28:42.718957 0:10:83:cf:55:2 sap 80 > 0:15:60:ae:a9:fb null test/P len=1497

There is a linux port of linkloop at http://www.freshmeat.net/linkloop
What I'm wondering is how many other platforms/switches/whatnot would
respond to the test frames produced by linkloop or something like it.
