[ACARS] airnav problem

[Dean Sies]

Don't have the Airnav software in front of me right now, but if you really
want to see what ports are being used for data download (why it wouldn't
be 80, 8000, or 21 I have NO idea...) there's a little toy we use at work
called Ethereal, found at www.ethereal.com.  It's multi-OS, multi-protocol, and
relatively stable.  At www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32 you will find
the links to the WinPcap packet driver (a prerequisite) and the installer
file for Ethereal.  

Does the same job as Etherpeek and other commercial packet sniffers, but
the $ and CPU cycle requirements are significantly lower...
