Many thanks for the prompt reply.
So its really a RUDP.. which I also tried but it did not appear to see Q931
below/above it.
The port is not fixed its configurable..
The skip and handoff would be a useful function ,for odd cases like this I
guess :)
Thanks for the advice , re-complile.. I will have a go, although not
something I would normally try..
best regards
Steve

The Q.931 dissector has not been coded in a way that it can run *directly*
on top of UDP. You can do so however if you're familiar with compiling
Ethereal, you then have to add the following line somewhere in the handoff
routine "proto_reg_handoff_q931()" for Q.931:
dissector_add("udp.port", 9011, q931_handle);
If this port is not a fixed port, then you may want to add a preference for
the port.

This is not possible today. It could however be implemented by means of a
generic "skip" dissector for which we need only to provide the number of
bytes to skip. Note to the developers: we should have the possibility to
specify a per-conversation byte offset and protocol handoff.

If the Q.931 protocol really runs directly over UDP, then the code has to be
updated.
Otherwise (if it runs on top of another protocol) you must specify the name
of the protocol running immediately on top of UDP. That one will then
normally take care of handing off the data to the correct higher-layer
protocol dissectors (and eventually Q.931).
