Hmm, yes I've noticed some mails that there are problems with capturing (or reading?) from a pipe :-(

As I'm usually working on windows where this isn't possible, I don't have a lot of experience with it.

I'll take a look on my debian box, so could someone explain (or point me to info) how to use the pipe "mode" ... or even better add this info to the wiki (if it's not already there).

Is this all about reading from a pipe, capturing from a pipe or even both?

BTW: Please don't expect any changes since sometime at the weekend, I'm currently very busy.

Regards, ULFL
