So I'll try to start out of a DOS-Box and see if there's something ....
no. it gets detached from the terminal upon start (as NT4 cmd.exe does).
nothing printed, but it took my 3 tries (ethernet, ipv4, udp) to have it

Yes, I know; as this is a new version I didn't do production things with it
yet, just test-captures.
Any other help?? Anything I can try??
