Hello,

I am attempting to use Ethereal to capture data on a PPP interface. 
Specifically, I do not want to capture at the IP level, but I want to
get the PPP headers as well.  I tried to capture on ppp0, but I only got
the IP packets.

First, can Ethereal dissect raw PPP?  Second can someone give me some
direction on how to set this up under Linux.  The Ethereal documentation
states that the "pppdump" file format is supported.  If someone has more
information on how this works, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks in advance,
