I dont think you can do it with out some form of in-line analyser?

If you just mean a PC running a sniffer application, it's pretty unlikely
you'll be able to do any WAN analysis.  The biggest problem is that PCs
don't have much in the way of interfaces that can be put in a monitor
position (ever seen a laptop with a T1 or T3 interface?).  There are some
RS-422 PCMCIA cards out there that are capable of, say, HDLC decode. 
However, I haven't been able to find any sniffer package that will interface
to the driver code for those PCMCIA cards.  If I knew more than just
elementary C++, maybe I could write the code to make the interface between
the two.  I did some research a while back but it wasn't promising.  I'm
hopeful that after I get a little more familiar with Linux some new doors
might open.

Likely, you'll need a WAN analyzer.  They typically run in the $10k(US) to
$25k range.  Not your typical home lab toy.

Right, you need the WAN interface on your analyzer and a maybe a Y cable.
