Is there any integration of tcpdump with curses, (something like
netmon on NT/SMS server) so that:

1. You have two windows, one with packet headers.
2. As you move cursor in window 1, the second window shows
parsed packet data in a tree like fashion.
You click on a data, eg. TCP flags to see each bit (with name)
individually.
3. Allow external packet parsers to recognize different protocols.
Could be simple regular expressions -> value, searched top down.

Other features not in Netmon, but possible are:

1. Watch packets while continue capturing, keeping only
packets contigous from the cursor, ie. if cursor is on
last packet, discard oldest packets to make space.

thanks,
