Hi List!

Some days ago, I have asked the list if "Packet" or "Frame" would be the better term,
used all over the GUI (except for protocol specific things, e.g. in the protocol details). 

As I (and the list) have received a lot of responses to this topic,
I would like to summarize the following:

1. it seems well accepted, that consistency of the GUI would be nice
2. most of the people responded (including me), 
would tend to use the term "Packet" at all GUI items
3. other apps, that doing similar things tend to use "Packet" also

So I will use "Packet" in all new or redesigned dialogs (menu items, tooltips, ...), and going to rename things in the existing ones, step by step.

Is anyone out there, who really disagrees on this decision?

Regards, ULFL
