I thought that might work for a second except that when I try to capture from
ppp0, Ethereal comes back with a message stating "The network you're capturing
from is a type that Ethereal doesn't support."  It at least allows the Ethereal capture
status box to appear when I choose eth0 as the interface.  Except that I'm
trying to trace a connection to my office www server via dial-up.  Plus I'd
like to capture everything, not just port 80.
