Guy Harris 92e1e36237 Add a bunch of notes from various "comp.sys.hp.hpux" threads about
tweaking HP-UX so that DLPI (and thus Ethereal/Tethereal and tcpdump)
can see, when capturing on a given machine, packets sent by that
machine.

Guy Harris 0603ba881d Give some README.<os> files RCS IDs; the other ones already have them.

Guy Harris b903eb672a Note that one can probably symbolically request that nettl log incoming
and outgoing PDUs, rather than specifying a numerical mask with pduin
and pduout (0x30000000).

Guy Harris 903d6ba665 Move the notes on nettl support above the notes on libpcap; the notes on
libpcap are somewhat long, and if somebody doesn't look at the table of
contents, but just scrolls through the file, they may get bored and give
up before they get to the notes on nettl.

Guy Harris e0468c2e16 Supply a patch that, at least on HP-UX 11.00, lets you specify to
"pcap_open_live()" a network interface name rather than a "dlpiN" name
(where "N" is the PPA for the device, as reported by lanscan).

Guy Harris c91afab6c9 Fix up the additions to reflect the reality that, at least on HP-UX 10.x
and 9.x, "libpcap-0.4" should, in theory, do the right thing; stuff may
be different on HP-UX 11.x, and "libpcap-0.4" may not do the right
thing, obliging you to use "dlpiN" devices in Ethereal.

Guy Harris b2cd42e7d5 Add a pile of additional information derived from Rick Jones' postings
and from the code I fetched from the URLs specified in the postings.

Guy Harris c84cedd891 Beef up the HP-UX README with some more information.

Guy Harris ced3198a2b Add a "README.hpux" file, giving notes about the Software Porting And
Archive Centre for HP-UX, who have (perhaps not the latest version of)
Ethereal in their archives, and the HP-UX C compiler options they used
when building their version.

Also note in the "README.hpux" file that there are, in the "INSTALL"
file for "libpcap", several comments about HP-UX that should be read if
you're going to use Ethereal with "libpcap" to capture packets.
