Hi there all,

I'm trying to decode a stream of ansi 801-1 messages, to get LBS running 
on my cell phone.  In order to debug a problem which seems to be 
happening on the network, I have the phone contact my machines, on which 
I have a simple proxy server running which will forward messages back 
and forth to a PDE.   I am running Ethereal on the machine and trying to 
examine the 801-1 packets, but ethereal decodes them as Apache j-server 
packets.  I can not find 801-1 in the "decode as" dialog.  I am using 
the port 8009, which is non-standard if I recall correctly, so this 
could be part of the problem, but my understanding is that I should be 
able to decode any of the protocols by selecting them in the decode as 
dialog. 

Also, is there any freely available reference from IS-801-1?  What 
reference was used to build the decoder?  The only one I can find costs 
$280.
