Collision Detection and Jam Signal on the LAN

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.

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.
