And also note that ethereal can read save files from both tethereal and=20
tcpdump. So you can capture the files on your platform and move them to=20
another box.

Additionally, note that all platforms (in principle) should support X=20
clients. Even if they don't support an X server. So if you have a working=

the network driver :-) then you can run ethereal and have the results=20
display on your desktop. From personal experience, I don't recomend this=20
over a 10BaseT link. Fast Ethernet or GigE should be ok.
