Any plans to support capture using two serial ports for ppp? There are a lot of us embedded engineers writing our own two serial port sniffer applications and saving data in cap format to display in ethereal. Would be so useful if Ethereal supported this.

Would be even more useful if *all* applications using libpcap supported this; if code exists to open two serial ports and merge the byte streams into a DLT_PPP-format capture, incorporating that code into libpcap/WinPcap would make that happen without any changes to Ethereal.
