In playing with this for the last couple of weeks, I've noticed
something a bit peculiar...namely, that it doesn't seem to always work.
here's an example of what I mean:

28 Feb 01 22:09:38    tcp xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa.1025   ->      xxx.yyy.zz.qq.23 EST 
	s[64]="..#..$...9600,9600....'.......VT100................"......"...."  
	d[64]=".......#..'..$........!..".."......... .....'.................."
28 Feb 01 22:09:40    tcp    xx.yyy.zz.aa.1163   ->      xxx.yyy.z.qq.23 EST
28 Feb 01 22:09:40    tcp    xx.yyy.zz.aa.2263   ?>      xxx.yyy.z.qq.23 EST
28 Feb 01 22:09:36    tcp xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa.1056   ->      xxx.yyy.z.qq.23 EST
28 Feb 01 22:09:49    tcp  xxx.yyy.aaa.aa.1173   ?>      xxx.yyy.zz.qq.23 EST
28 Feb 01 22:09:45    tcp    xxx.yyy.z.qq.49263  ->      xxx.yyy.zz.qq.23 EST

Obviously, there are a number of flows in progress here, but only that
first one reported any userdata captured.  If I had to make a guess,
it's only capturing the *first* 64 bytes (in my case) of a new
connection.  

Is this correct?

Thanks, 

Scott
