After spending some time using the new (or is it enhanced?) support for
dissection of PPP traffic carried over USB links, I'm fairly impressed; and I'm
thankful to the folks who've implemented it.

However, it seems that support for dissection of PPP CHAP packets (which are
otherwise supported, when using other carriers for PPP) is absent, which
diminishes the utility of an otherwise rather useful feature.

Attached are two trace files containing what should be identical PPP CHAP
packets (one encapsulated in Microsoft's pseudo-Ethernet framing, and one
encapsulated in USB/"HDLC-Like Framing"). 

Thanks in advance.
