[Winpcap-users] Using Ethernet Connection Instead of Dial-Up

[ceo at triplebit.com]

Thanks GV,

Since  I develop software for other environments also I'd like to know 
whether your answer applies also to other kinds such as cables, isdn and 
other environments. Is it correct to say that its always (or almost always) 
possible to retrieve the Ethernet packets?

Thanks again

I. Lesher
