Hi,

well, I have been using Ethereal in a TCP/IP course, and the following
deficiencies present themselves:

1. It starts up this DOS looking window as well as the main Ethereal Window.

   Does it need to do this?

2. The menu bar and other menus look silly, because the underline is way down
   the window. It looks like Windows uses an underlined font, and GTK puts an
   underline under the character.

3. It occassionally hangs the machine. It seems to grab 100% CPU.

4. It would be useful if the TCP breakout had a field that showed the 
   length rather having to look in the IP header and figure it out ...



Regards
