Guy,

Just realized that I had to enable the option "Allow subdissector to
desegment TCP streams" in the TCP preferences :-)
The Versatel Networks can now be reassembled!

Thank you for you're input

What happens when you try to reassemble it?

Note that if the capture begins in the *middle* of a Versatel packet,
it won't be able to reassemble that packet....
