Two hour to the great moment!  
Best wish!

void FragReassembler::AddFragment(const struct ip\* ip, const u\_char\* pkt,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 frag\_field)  
&nbsp;&nbsp;{  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;......  
&nbsp;&nbsp;// Remove header.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;pkt += hdr\_len;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;len -= hdr\_len;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ printf("%s,/n",(char \*) pkt);//change  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;NewBlock(network\_time, offset, len, pkt);  
&nbsp;&nbsp;}  
I make the aboving change to print the payload of telnet , but it does not work!
