It might be possible to write a script in your favorite scripting
language to convert the file to a form text2pcap can handle.

It might be useful to have text2pcap capable of handling

	1) decimal rather than hex offsets (possibly octal offsets as
	   well);

	2) formats where there are spaces between 2-octet or 4-octet
	   clumps rather than octets

but it'd probably be easier, for one file, to do it with a script.
