you may want to choose a mirror closer to you) has ported versions, in

+nettl is used on HP-UX to trace various streams based subsystems. Wireshark
+can read nettl files containing raw IP frames (NS_LS_IP, NS_LS_TCP,
+NS_LS_UDP, NS_LS_ICMP subsystems), all ethernet/tokenring/fddi driver
+level frames (such as BTLAN, BASE100, GELAN, IGELAN subsystems) and LAPB
+frames (SX25L2 subsystem). Use "ioscan -kfClan" to see the driver
+names and compare that to /etc/nettlgen.conf to find the nettl subsystem
+name for your particular release.

Use the following commands to generate a trace (cf. nettl(1M)):
-# IP capture. 0x30000000 means PDU in and PDU out :
-nettl -tn 0x30000000 -e NS_LS_IP -f tracefile
+# IP capture:
+nettl -tn pduin pduout -e NS_LS_IP -f tracefile
+# Driver level capture. Replace btlan with the name of your interface:
+nettl -tn pduin pduout -e btlan -f tracefile
# X25 capture. You must specify an interface :
-nettl -tn 0x30000000 -e SX25l2 -d /dev/x25_0 -f tracefile
-# stop capture. subsystem is NS_LS_IP or SX25L2 :
+nettl -tn pduin pduout -e SX25l2 -d /dev/x25_0 -f tracefile
+# stop capture. subsystem is NS_LS_IP, btlan, SX25L2 :
nettl -tf -e subsystem
-One may be able to specify "-tn pduin pduout" rather than
-"-tn 0x30000000"; the nettl man page for HP-UX 10.30 implies that it
-should work.
+You may have to use "-tn 0x30000000" instead of "-tn pduin pduout"
+on old versions of 10.20 and 9.04.
