+ useful for redirecting reports to log files instead of mail. (This feature

+ .LP
++The
++.B -p
++flag disables promiscuous operation. ARP broadcasts get through hubs without
++having the interface in promiscuous mode, while saving considerable resources
++that would be wasted on processing gigabytes of non-broadcast traffic. OTOH,
++setting promiscuous mode does not mean getting 100% traffic that would concern
++.B arpwatch.
++YMMV. (This feature comes from Debian).
