I have set Tethereal up as a service under win2000 and am executing it with
the -w option to dump data to a file and with the -R option to regulate
what to dump.  My constraints are pretty tight, looking for just a single
type of traffic so I'm spitting out very little data to the file.  However,
the file doesn't seem to be getting updated in real time.  As a matter of
fact, It's not very consistent as to when it dumps data to the file.  The
constraint I am using is limiting output to AIM traffic.  Any clue as to
when Tethereal writes to the file (is it time based, amount of dat based,
based on data received from AIM or random)?  Is there any way to change it
so that data is spit out real time?

TIA,
