It's actually called etherape (pronounce as ether-ape), but I like your
variation. :-) I 'll use it in case I ever change the program name.

As to your problem... Humm... I'm using the libpcap library for packet
capture. I'm surprised it doesn't support frame relay. That doesn't mean
that etherape supports frame relay yet, but it will if you send me a small
capture file.

Install tcpdump (see www.tcpdump.org) and try it out on your frame relay
device. If it works, do
tcpdump -i wp1_fr16 -w tracefile
to save some traffic to a file and send it to me so that I can test it.

Thanks for your report. :-)

Juan.
