Hum, this sounds very interesting.

And booting such a special internal image, would allow to capture raw
data on some interface (WAN,LAN or whatsoever) and put that data on a
tftp/ftp/some server for future analysis ?

I am asking you this because I want to study the WAN/LAN protocols in
detail and I do not have money to buy a WAN protocol analyzer.
For instance, how should I capture raw HDLC/LAPD/FrameRelay/a.s.o
protocols for study ?
