[KLUG Members] strange network things

At work we have two window systems :-( that seem to exchange data via 
DCOM mechanism. One is a server hosting a pbx and the other is a client 
showing some data about the pbx, such as waiting times, number of wating 
people, ...

I am trying for a long time already to figure out what data goes from 
one system to the other, so I can build my own application using that 
same data and shift it into a mysql database.

But no network activities is reported by either by 'ethereal' or 
'ngrep'. I know DCOM uses port 135 to initialize. Is there any other way 
to get data from the network that is reveiling the data passed between 
those boxes? Is there a way to hook on dcom from Linux?
