Hi,

thanks to all for your help, tcpdump is now
running. However, how do I save / capture
the information? A look at the man pages
says "tcpdump -d" for human readable form
and "tcpdump -w <file>" for a file. Ok, I
tried tcpdump - thats fine but I don't know
how to grab the data, -d returns a single line

(000) ret    #68

-w <file> makes a file ok, but its all garbled.
Can someone tell me the proper way to grab
the tcpdump output please.

TIA
Chris R.
