If this is Windows, a better operating system is required. Those devices are PPP devices, and, currently, those don't work with WinPcap with current versions of Windows, and Wireshark requires WinPcap, on Windows, to capture traffic.

Instead of changing the OS, when it's simply a capture mechanism issue, you could try Message Analyzer from Microsoft. Not the easiest program to work with, but if you can get it to capture, then you may can export the capture to .cap format that Wireshark might then able to read.

Note the "if's" and "mights".
