Akim, The product that you may be looking for is made by Agilent Technologies (a HP spinoff). For more information visit this URL:
http://onenetworks.comms.agilent.com/agilentadvisor/J2300E.asp The Agilent Advisor is powerful and imho offers similar levels of packet capture/decoding as the products you mentioned. Just beware, it isn't any cheap. As to where you physically connect the Agilent Advisor: it goes connected between your CSU/DSU and/or router and the physical media you use for that serial connection. Thus, it is service disrupting. In a production environment, you would need to use it during a scheduled maintenance window.

The same company has a similar product "Tokenpeek" that can capture Token rings packets. Data for both are captured by connecting to the Ether or Token switch. My question is: How do you capture the packets on a serial line? What software do you use and where do you physically connect?
