You might also want to look at Network General's Sniffer.  They support
a large number of protocols, as well as displaying of the packet in hex/ascii/
ebcidic dumps.  I know they have XNS and I think TCP/IP.  They also support
writting your own protocol disassemblers (in C).  Finally, they also support
filtering of the packets on various criteria.  Their number is (408) 734-0464.
