[En-Nut-Discussion] Tracing PPP

[Brett Abbott]

Hi

We have been supplied a GUI application which traces PPP by way of a 
hybrid cable which uses two serial ports (rollon $30 USB serial ports).  
It works a charm and seems to be a complete implementation providing 
details of PPP, SLIP, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP and AT commands in both 
directions.  Real time, or replay.  You can even halt the trace to 
examine the data whilst still capturing data.

We were provided it by an equipment vendor so I cannot distribute it 
freely but will approach them and ask for details of its' source/cost 
etc and provide feedback if anyone is interested.  Whilst a bit 
cumbersome, heavy on serial ports and not nearly as flexible as my 
$1kNZD serial analyser, it easily shortens the debug cycle and is worth 
a look.

Regards
Brett
