Greetings,

I'm troubleshooting a network problem involving X.25 over TCP (XOT).  I've
been using ethereal and it does great at the TCP layer, but doesn't address
the X.25 encapsulated inside it.  I've been reduced to painful analysis by
hand.

Would someone volunteer to write the dissector?  It's documented in RFC1613
and a pretty simple encapsulation:
  TCP
  XOT (2 byte version, 2 byte X.25 pkt length)
  X.25

Since TCP and X.25 are written, I'm hoping someone familiar with the packet
decoding software could do this pretty easily.  Any takers?

PS.
Many thanks to those of you working on this project!  It's about time we had
something stronger than tcpdump.  ;)  You've collectively done a great job.
(And Kudos to the person who thought-up the "Follow TCP Stream"!  It's
indispensable!)
