Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] EBCDIC in data portion of packet

The packets are various proprietary POS formats, tcp......  There is an
indicator in the header that tells us the character set...    But, I
don't need the packets to be broken out. I just need to be able to
quickly find a particular pos transaction from among 10mil....
Generally we look for a store ID #, or a transaction number...

Thanks,
Dave

Not at this time.

Perhaps.  What protocol is carrying the EBCDIC traffic you're seeing?
