Hi,
Good to know that others also work on same thing.
I am not sure how far you are with your own parser.
I guess it should be assessed whether it is better to finish your parser, or
make the III-ASN parser's output fit Ethereal.
I can also join the work, if there is an organized team working on this.
br,

Andras
