Title: RE: [Ethereal-dev] RMI is gone
I should follow up on this.
RMI is not "gone".
I appears as though the version I was using as a baseline happened to have a hole which allowed certain packets to be decoded as RMI, even though they weren't traveling between the ports they should have been. I am of the opinion that the current code is more correct.
BTW: Using the "Decode As" choice in the Tools menu, I can grab any stream and decode it as RMI. When I do so, I see what I should.
Is there more which could be added to this dissector? I'll help do what I can, since I am working with RMI, and I have made additions to dissectors in the past.

Are you very sure, that 0.9.4 did decode this? As far as i remember the
rmi dissector patch was introduced in 0.9.5.
