I would like to think I have not abandoned EtherApe yet, but the sad truth is that
I have almost no time to dedicate it now. After the May finals I had the September 
finals, and I didn't do very well on either. Since then I've joined Nokia to get 
some money to pay for the new school year. It's a full time job, and obviously I 
still have more exams to get ready for in December.

I have been trying to install Linux at work in order to do something productive in 
slow work periods, but Nokia encrypts all its laptops at the HD level which makes 
impossible even an umsdos install, and since the laptop has W95 installed, vmware 
is a discarded option.

To make matters worse, the Nokia intranet blocks ssh traffic, which wouldn't allow 
me to reach the cvs server, and to get this job I had to move away from my city, 
where I had a nice cable connection, to a different city, where I don't even have a 
basic telephone line. 

>I think it's a precious program and I hope to see Version 1.0 of Etherape.
I too think it is nice, and it's a pity that it's not yet done, being as it is
so close to a productive tool.


(I had some 250+MB of core dump and the isdn accounting is still buggy, some 
help:

That is my main priority, and I've been trying to hunt it even though I didn't 
publish any results (simply because I didn't find the problem :-) )

I'll still have a look to the rest of your comments as soon as I can.

Regards,
Juan.
