OK, sounds like a nice reverse-engineering project :-)

No, tracert is 'trace route' and is a little tool to see how TCP/IP
packages are being sent to a specific URL. It displayes all
the intermediate nodes visited while underway ...
To really trace TCP/IP traffic contents you need a sniffer
program that can do that. There are quite a few for Windows
and Linux, but I am not sure there is something for OS/2.
These programs have device-drivers that hook to the
network card and can filter out and interpret TCP/IP
(or other protocols) packets from there.
There are also dedicated LAN-sniffer machines that
can be attached to a router or switch that can monitor
or trace the traffic on a whole LAN ...
