You could always simply span a port on your managed swutch and capture
the traffic with a variety of tools. It sounds like you have to right
tools already.

I agree with Cain and Able. It you want a simple proof of concept, use it.

I you want a better understanding of the fundamentals used by Cain,
you could use fragroute / dsniff / etc. and manually confiure the MITM

In fact, every MTA which is between you and your communication partner
