That is an awful lot of information to analyze in real-time using
a lowly PIC. Something I have been working on - in fitful bits and
pieces - are simple I2C and RS-232 real-time analyzers using a 20
Mhz PIC, but the PIC is just barely able to keep up. I hold fairly
small hope for doing anything more complicated than this.
