However, it doesn't appear to be seeing packets from either the physical LAN or the other tap interface which I have a simh instance connected to, using either the tap: or pcap: modes. I have not tried the tap: code changes discussed here yet, and I might just wait for Paul to incorporate those in the main release. But I'm surprised that using pcap: mode as Robert suggested didn't work for me. I may have configured something incorrectly. I'll try some more later.

For really nasty cases, wireshark can be useful.  But I find that it's usually sufficient to set the log level to TRACE.  You'll probably want to log to a file and use a good editor to read the file; it grows rather quickly.
