bit of tweaking, we _might_ be able to turn this into a protocol poster.
Hmmm, needed some time to figure out, that the stdout output of ethereal won't put out on stdout?!? Not what I'd expected :-)

After using tethereal I got that text output ...

Looks already interesting, e.g. I didn't know we already have a something like a "null" dissector :-)

As Guy already mentioned, this won't include all dissectors we have, but still be a good start.
