Printing TCP Options?

Hey Nikki,
Argus does not capture TCP headers, so we don't have TCP header content, per se.
We do capture much of the TCP session semantics, so things like negotiated TCP options,
TCP state progression, etc…., some sequence numbers, etc…. are available.

But now that I'm looking at the client source, the "tcpopt" and "tcpext" field, didn't make
the 3.0 cut.  I'll have to put it back in.

So what in particular are you looking for?  Just the negotiated options at setup?
