Why not? BO2K runs on Windows NT and Win2000 boxes. (The new version of
Netbus does too, but I'm not sure if that's publicly available yet.)

But if you anticipate what packets the remote side will return, you can
generate the appropriate responses. Admittedly, very difficult to do when
you're doing something complicated, but within the realm of possibility.
And, routing information may be in the packets, but it doesn't get logged,
so that's no help.
