     Hello,
       Below is a ethereal capture of my dsl session, interface netgear fa511 nic under win98se2.  The pppoe client 
       is enternet.  Why is ethereal reporting 1516 bytes instead of 1514?  Somewhere between the PPP-over-Ethernet
       session payload length of 1494 PLUS said header of 6 bytes (1500) PLUS 14 bytes of the Ethernet header (1514),
       1516 bytes appear.  Thanks...
