Monitoring ports remotely

I have two IP gateways running about 100 miles apart from each
other. Both are connected using 128K or better links so bandwidth isn't
an issue....

What I am trying to do is create a axip port and echo all packets
heard from my RF ports onto this axip port. Then I was planning on using
a vt like /dev/tty12 on my linux workstation at work to keep an eye on
activity. My original thoughts were to use inetd to dump incoming
packets destined for udp port 94...then I realized it not UDP port 94,
its IP protocol 94.... I am guessing at this point the only way to make
this work is to run a program which will listen to a socket labeled as
protocol 94.

Any ideas on how I can make this work?
