here's what i get:

rarp who-is sparc.eischeid2.net tell sparc.eischeid2.net
rarp reply sparc.eischeid2.net at sparc.eischeid2.net
sparc.eischeid2.net.58487 > eischeid2.net.tftp : 23 RRQ "AC100007.SUN4M"
eischeid2.net.1092 > sparc.eischeid2.net.58487 : udp 21


and then nothing until the sparc times out
