How to record plain text in a pcap file?

[Darren Reed <Darren.Reed () Oracle COM>]

Is there a DLT type for "plain text"?

That is, can I record or insert text based comments or other data to a 
pcap file?

Why could or would this be significant?

Well, if I was using DLT_PPI that allows multiple types of packets to be 
recorded in a single file, why can't one of those DLT's be one that says 
"this is plain text, not a packet"?
