Subject: Decode Messenger conversations from logs

Thanks Bill,

Unfortunately the way that Wingate is set up, it uses a different port for
each conversation (or so it appears from the decode window in Iris on the
Wingate server machine). This makes it difficult to determine which ports
are used and therefore to set Ethereal to decode those ports as IM.

What I was hoping to find was a perhaps a 3rd party app, or add-on, to parse
the logs and automitically determine if the traffic on a certain port was IM
or not and decode it as necessary.

Thanks for replying,

Dean
