Q.SIG is not the same as Q.931. Although they are related, Q.SIG and
Q.931 have a number of differences. However, they may be close enough
that, as you mention, the current Q.931 dissector might handle the
decoding. I would be worried that without specific Q.SIG support we'd be
missing all of the Q.SIG Supplementary Services.

I'll see what I can dig up about the protocol. I know that the
specifications are on the ECMA website. I'll try to find the relevant
data and post it (or the links) to the list and/or the Wiki.

Thanks,
John
