Gentlemen:  I'd like to decode a proprietary network layer protocol
embedded as Ethernet Type 0x8275 and 0x8276.  I noticed that Ethereal
has several options such as "User Specified Decodes", under the
"Display" option; and "Decode As", under the "Tools" option.
Nonetheless I have not been able to figure out how to configure Ethereal
to decipher a protocol other than those it is installed with.

Do I need to create some DLL plug-in or is there a text-based config
file that I can generate?

Thx to all.
