Benedikt was kind enough to suggest ethereal. I investigated it and it seems promising. I installed the port. It seemed to install fine. The make file also installed gdt and libtool. Please excuse my ignorance - what do I do now to execute it? I have KDE as my desktop environment, and I start X by using the startx command. I guess I am clueless as to what running GDT means. Can anyone outline the steps to take? Thanks!
