Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Capture of output to USB port

[jroland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It is not clear from the FAQ whether Ethereal is the right tool for 
running a Windows dialer program to capture the AT commands it issues to 
a USB modem. I have a Motorola E680 cellphone with a built-in modem that 
appears to work like any other dial-up modem, except that it needs a 
special initialization AT command, which is issued by a Windows dialer 
program. The problem is that I want to be able to use a Linux dialer 
like kppp or wvdial to have the phone call the Internet, so I need the 
AT commands the Windows dialer is issuing the phone through the USB 
port. The vendor of the Windows dialer won't disclose (or doesn't know) 
what AT command sequence it issues, so I need a utility to run (once) 
the Windows dialer program to capture the output it issues to the USB 
port. Any suggestions?
