There should be accessible sniffers for Linux that can run in command line mode and redirect the results to a file which you can read.
I have used snort, which is a command line packet sniffer which accepts creating complex rules for filtering. It works under Windows but there may be a Linux version also. I don't know if snort isn't actually a Unix program originally...
You can also search on search.cpan.org for "sniffer" and you will find more modules that could help you, like Net::Packet::Dump for example.

This is a bit off topic, but it seems that the people on this list will know best: my TCP/IP class will soon be working with packet sniffers as part of a final project, on Ubuntu. The professor wants me to use Wire Shark, formerly known as Ethereal. I may be able to use Windows if necessary, but the question is whether WireShark will work with Orca and/or JAWS? If not, is there a sniffer that will work? Thanks!Have a great day, Alex __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
