Hello ethereal developers.

I have i little question/problem.

I am creating a packet trace (sniffer) function for a series of 
routers. The router supports many different interfaces (ISDN/WAN/LAN) 
and protcols (IP/TCP/PPP/HLDC....). In what file format should i save 
the output in to be as compatible with ethereal as possible. What 
format is most flexible? 

If no suitable format was available, i was considering to create my own 
format and then develop at suitable driver for ETHEREAL. How 
complicated is the process of inserting a new format into Ethereal?

Hope you guys can help me.
