What's tcpstream? Could you give me a URL?

It would interact much more if I was able to figure out how to do it. ;-)
(Well, actually I didn't try that hard so far.) Right now, you can select
packets in packet list by clicking into the graph. I would like have the
opposite feature too - some kind of highlighting of the packet that is
highlighted in packet list. One thing that would be really useful is a
"dynamic" graph that would be drawn in real time during the capture. I'm
sure there's a lot of potential in having graphing incorporated in ethereal
core.
