Hi !

I would like to use ethereal to analyse IP-data, but for this data does
not exist a network device, because the data comes from a serial line.
What is the easiest way to put the data to ethereal ?

My first experiment will be the TAP-Interface (TAP and WIN-TAP), but I
am not sure is it the best solution or exits better method for that ?
Also what I saw is to modify libcap to transfer my data . Is it better???

Nice greetings,
Harald
