when you click on the data tab, you see the raw info without dots.

Do the dots in that picture correspond to the ASCII '.' character (hex 2e)? Or is EtherDetect showing bytes that are neither printable ASCII or printable characters in some unknown one-byte Windows character set - for example, bytes with hex values between 0x00 and 0x1f, or between 0x80 and 0x9f - as dots?

This is useful for copy/pasting something like, say, the Yahoo protocol, and using it to sign in.

How do you use it to sign in?
