Not really. You can dump packets, but you can't do what you really need to do, which is snapshot all the packets in a binary format with microsecond timestamps and then run BPF style filters over them to isolate small sections of the traffic you are interested in. If you can't run automated tools over the raw packets its hard to catch some of the needed subtleties. Of course, what you have is indeed better than nothing. Perry - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
