[En-Nut-Discussion] PPP Debugging Software

[deoxy at u.washington.edu]

Hi Mike,

I would love to get that serial port monitor program.

I played around with Ethereal, and made a function to print out received PPP data to the debug port.  There's an app to convert raw data to the form Ethereal understands.  It's not as streamlined as it could be, but takes less than 30 seconds to do.  I'll make a short list of steps and post it to the list later.

Thanks,

Louis
