I want to get the collisions on the LAN. I know that in half-duplex network there is jam signal to demonstrate the collision occured. How would I get the Jam Signal and count them without addtional hardware besides a network card. Many tools can get the Collision that the transceiver meets but that is not what i wanted. Any help would be appreciated.
Collision Detection and Jam Signal on the LAN

For coaxial ethernet it is possible to do receive mode collision detect, to detect collisions between other stations on the cable.
I don't know that such signal propagates through repeaters, so also would not be available on 10baseT hosts.
