Wireshark supports dissection of ISDN. I think what you mean is that Wireshark
doesn't (generally) support capture from E1 directly. If I understood
you right,
please have a look at question 7.5 at http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html

In that case you might consider capturing the packets using the API you already
have and reformatting the packet in libpcap format with a
pseudo-header and feed it
to Wireshark or tshark through named pipes. I have never really tried
this myself, but
I have read people on the developer list discuss this approach.
Perhaps you will
find something in the mailing list archives.

Please see my suggestion above. I don't think the use of jpcap would
be particularly
useful in this case.
