Add a module to wiretap to be able to read trace files from Toshiba's
line of ISDN routers. Much like the ascend reader, this module reads an ASCII hex dump of trace data. Rearranged the order in which wiretap tries trace files, to keep the ASCII-readers (ascend and toshiba) at the end, and put the binary-readers (everything else) at the front of the list. If a telnet session of and ascend trace or toshiba trace were captured near the beginning of another trace, wiretap might think the trace was ascend or toshiba if it tried that module first. Fixed the way wtap_seek_read() selects functions to call. It was using the encap type instead of the file type. We got lucky because WTAP_ENCAP_ASCEND == WTAP_FILE_ASCEND svn path=/trunk/; revision=952

+-------------------
+An under-documented command that the router supports in a telnet session is "snoop".
+If you give it the "dump" option, you'll get a hex dump of all packets across the
+router (except of your own telnet session -- good thinking Toshiba!). You can
+select a certain channel to sniff (LAN, B1, B2, D), but the default is all channels.
+You save this hex dump to disk with 'script' or by 'telnet | tee'. Wiretap will
+read the ASCII hex dump and convert it to binary data.
