pppdump is a very simple format but to save time you might like this.
I have been doing some work with pppdump recently.
Don't take it as gospel truth as I haven't fully validated it but ...
To do my work I hacked pppdump to give me tcpdump output but doing that
means I lose the direction information which is rather useful!
