Ok, I've read but there is a big problem (for me :-) ).
I had supposed to use "active-filter" and the filter expression syntax
is equal to tcpdump.
Well, using tcpdump for experiment and tuning, I cannot 'see' the
various LCP packet.
Also using a typical "tcpdump -e -i ppp0" , I see only supported
protocol (TCP, UDP, ...).
In tcpdump man page there was not reference to LCP and/or PPP link
layer protocol.
So, if I cannot create the "filter-expression" for "active-filter"
using tcpdump, how can I filter the LCP packets ?? :-)
My knowledge in PPP is not enough to create "on the paper" the right
filter-expression.
I need "try and buy" the right expression :-)
Any idea ?
Bye de Alex.
