Hi,
does it have to be a rebol? If you want to watch your packets, I would
suggest you fine tool called Ethereal. It is completly free and
powerfull. Otherwise - how would you achieve it? You have to go to
Ethernet layer to watch your communication. If you want to use just
Rebol + TCP, - you can't do it im technically. The only possible way is
to put proxy (you can find one in library) in-between your server and
client - that way you will be able to control what is being communicated ...
