Heh.  Sniffer Pro 4.0 Standalone cannot read NetXray files
produced by Ethereal.  I'm told it horks up the truly useful
diagnostic msg "failed to read in file."

Interestingly, Optimal Application Expert can read Ethereal's
NetXray v1.1 format file.  Optimal crashes, though, when it
tries to export that v1.1 file as an NG sniffer .enc file.

And, FWIW, your guess as to the linespeed int seems correct,
as the v2.2 file John House sent had a value there of 10e6,
presumably from a 10 Mb/s Ethernet.
