	pathchar = enlightenment

	Getting it working can be a bit trying though as the
documentation concentrates and how and why it works rather than how 
to work it.

	pathchar -m 1500 -q3 sitename.ext    ought to get you going
in the right direction (try an -m 700 if it hangs). I usually try a 
couple of different -m and -q settings when doing a trace and I've
found it to be pretty accurate. 

	There's quite a few other nifty network analysis tools on
lbl's site too.

	Have fun.

	Peace be with you,
	
	Brent
