there is a backend for tcpdump called tcpshow.c that does a pretty decent
job of decoding the headers and contents of packets.  It will run realtime
or playback from raw tcpdumps.  There is also a nice GUI version of tcpdump
called tcpview, but it doesn't seem to want to gather and decode/display the
data at the same time, tho i imagine it could be persuaded if you were
determined enough.  Tcpview should be easy to find with archie or something,
but i haven't seen tcpshow.c available anywhere yet, so if you cant find
it and want it, send me a note and i can mail you a copy.
