Hello Ethereal Users,

I have some raw serial data that I captured and want to have
decoded by ethereal.  Basically its somthing I snarfed off a
serial port, an inbound and outbound stream characters
captured from an RS-232 port.  It's just some
Hayes-compatible AT modem chatter followed by then PPP
LCP/IPCP traffic and then some WSP/WTP on top.  Is ethereal
able to decode the PPP and application level protocols in
this stream?

Is there an easy way to massage the captured data into
something ethereal can read?  I tried to write something
using libpcap to reformat the data, but found that I had to
in effect write a mini-analyzer which kinda defeats the
purpose.

Thank you for any help or insights you can offer.

Benjamin Lee
