Is it possible to capture this traffic on Linux or does it have the same problem? I use a captured session taken on win98 to teach PPP. it's great for showing the LCP negotiation process. I use Linux a little at work but not at home - which is the only place I have a dial-up connection available.

 If the PPP connection process is able to be captured with Linux I might be able to get students to capture their own session in a lab that's got an analog PABX - of course I'd then have to learn how to actually make a Linux PPP connection first but I think that's do-able.
