EMCOM admits they don't send the proper format over - I think they strip parts off.  I was just curious to see if I could specify where in the frame different pieces of information are for future analysis.  Doesn't sound like it.

Thanks,

Steve

I.e., there's a bug in whatever software is doing the exporting, and it's
not writing valid Frame Relay Sniffer files?

Not without making private modifications to Ethereal.

It might be easier to write a program to read the broken .syc files and
write out valid ones.  Is it sticking extra information at the beginning
of the frames, before the Frame Relay header?
