Subject: [9fans] simple question: monitor ppp

I'm thinking it would be nice to have a way to do this:
watcher -s /srv/watcher -f /dev/eia0
ppp -p /srv/watcher

watcher would print all the traffic as it flows from ppp to eia0.
Something like:
SENT |.... (blah blah; xd format)
RECV | .... etc.

I also think that there is already a way to do this; there usually is in
  Plan 9, I just usually miss it :-)

Hints accepted :-)

Here's a hint for you in trade: when attaching an rs232 GPRS phone
device to plan9, run
con -Rs /dev/eia0

You need to convert LF->CR, and ALSO strip bit 0x80.

If we can get this to go, we'll have a cell-connected 9grid :-)
