but I'm sending it here as well, in case anybody can give me a hand)

I'm sorry it took me this long to get back to you. I was away at Madrid for
the Linux Expo, and when I got back home I had to take care of many things.

I've been looking at your tracefile. You can easily work around the problem by
using the ip mode (run as etherape -m ip).
The underlying problem is that ISDN seems to be simulating some kind of
ethernet, but it assigns a new ethernet address for remote nodes for each new
packet. The right thing to do, then, would be to go to override ethernet mode
for ISDN connections, but then, I don't know how to do that, since pcap
reports a regular ethernet.

Anybody knows how to deal with the issue?

Regards,
Juan.
