Of course we're interested! 

It will be easiest if you can start using CVS to retrieve the latest
Ethereal image.

Just send the new code, plus any patches ('diff -u' is easiest to read).
If you make your mods in your local CVS copy, you can use "cvs diff" to
make a diff of code changes made against the CVS repository. 

Send the new files, the diff file, and a small sample trace file
so other authors can play with DEC protocols, to ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxx
