Can I use WinPcap on a PPP connection?

Windows 9x: We have tested WinPcap on PPP connections under Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME. In Windows 95, due to a bug in NDIS, WinPcap sometimes resets the PPP connection. In Windows 98/ME this bug seems to be fixed, and WinPcap seems to receive packets correctly, however it’s not able to transmit packets. Windows NT4/Longhorn/Vista/64 bit: these systems have limitations in the NDIS binding process that prevent a protocol driver from working properly on WAN adapters. It’s not possible to capture on PPP/VPN connections on these operating systems. Windows 2000/XP/2003: these systems have limitations in the NDIS binding process that prevent a protocol driver from working properly on WAN adapters. WinPcap 3.1 and newer offer limited support for capturing on dial-up adapters using a wrapper over the Microsoft NetMon driver.
