Thank you for the effort, but I'd really have some real documentation even if

That's a nice idea. :-) I have a lot of them to implement now, but it shouldn't
bee too hard. In the meantime, you might want to use a small node-timeout and/or
some kind of tcpdump filtering.

Do something for me: send me some smal FDDI capture file (tcpdump -w file)

Nope. I'll look at it to steal more ideas. :-)
