Hi Todd, hi Yaniv!

The last time I tried to submit patches to this topic, I ran "out of spirit", as I couldn't get any patches checked in.

I'm using my DCOM dissection for over a year now, it's working quite well for me and others.

As I have also made a lot of other changes compared to the CVS tree, my diff file is getting larger and larger (about 50kB right now + other seperate files), and submitting patches is now even more complicated for me than a year ago. But my tree is still in sync with latest CVS :-)

Regards, ULFL
