Cannot be read correctly with Ethereal, or NetXRay/Sniffer Pro can't
correctly read, on the third computer, files created by NetXRay/Sniffer
Pro on the other two computers?  (NetXRay probably can't read Sniffer Pro
files, as it's older, but if NetXRay can't correctly interpret, on the
third computer, files created by the same version of NetXRay on another
computer, and the same applies to Sniffer Pro, that's really really
really really really really really really really really really really
really really broken.)

BTW, the mail messages I referred to before were:

(that one explains where "1193180" comes from - 1.19318 MHz is the clock
rate of the PC/AT System Timer's input signal)
