+3 - nettl support
+
+nettl is used on HP-UX to trace various streams based subsystems. Ethereal
+can read nettl files containing IP frames (NS_LS_IP subsystem) and LAPB
+frames (SX25L2 subsystem).
+It has been tested with files generated on HP-UX 9.04 and 10.20.
+
+Use the following commands to generate a trace (cf. nettl(1M)):
+
+# IP capture. 0x30000000 means PDU in and PDU out :
+nettl -tn 0x30000000 -e NS_LS_IP -f tracefile
+# X25 capture. You must specify an interface :
+nettl -tn 0x30000000 -e SX25l2 -d /dev/x25_0 -f tracefile
+# stop capture. subsystem is NS_LS_IP or SX25L2 :
+nettl -tf -e subsystem
