libpcap and PPP

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Yotam,
   When did they make the change?  I hate it when they
do something that is not backward compatible.  I'll
grab the newest libpcap today/tomorrow and I'll make
the changes to 2.0.6.beta.4 before the weekend.

Thanks for the mail, and hope all is well!!!

Carter
