I've used either a Sniffer or a HP Internet Advisor when I've worked with
Bay/Wellfleet gear.  

I've also used the Agilent gear (probes), though not when dealing with Bay,
but with Cisco and didn't have any decode problems.  I'm kind of surprised
that it isn't able to do this.  Silly question but have you either tried it
or checked with your local Bay SE?  

Also, do you have/use Optivity?  You could do a limited packet capture via
that if you are in a pinch and really need to do it.  

Are  you trying to look at the WAN specific traffic or just traffic going
across the WAN?  Maybe if it's the latter, you can see it when it goes over
a LAN segment (say it's user traffic that is going over a WAN link to a
remote server - I see this all the time).

HTH,
Chris
