Hi,

In my last EM about Telnet I said I was unhappy with what I had done in the
Telnet (and by extension in the FTP) protocol decoder.

I simply put Telnet Data ... in that field.

NetMon puts the relevant TCP info, including flags and sequence numbers
there as well as any relevant protocol info if it can.

I was thinking that I might do the same.  This means that I will have to
retrieve the text that is in that field and add to it. 

A simple enough task. Does ethereal allow you to retrieve a field?

Or, should we write an append routine?


Regards
