possible rooted systems

I am a lan administrator at a small school system with a T1 line for the 
internet. Lately I've noticed that the T1 line has been maxed, and a week 
later, it still is maxed out. I strongly believe that a few systems have been 
rooted (no viruses/trojans show up on scans) and need a novell based packet 
sniffer to determine what is legitimate and illegitimate traffic. Does anyone 
know of any good ones? We run many xp and 98 boxes with multiple novell 
servers. I think some of the 98 boxes are the ones that were rooted On using 
them I've noticed one common thing on every one of them at that building. 
spyware beyond usage (current record 35000 entries before adaware locked up). 
I know how I can just fix it, but I need some sort of log so I can justify my 
means. ;)
Thanks
Kyle
