Sounds like you need SerialView, our $399 async PPP protocol analyzer
that does exactly what you're asking for.  It decodes LCP, PAP, CHAP,
SPAP, MSCHAP, IPCP, IPXCP, NBFCP, etc., as well as TCP/UDP/IP, SNMP,
IPX/SPX/NCP, and more.  Check out our site (http://www.klos.com/), call
or email if you have any questions.
