Hi all, I'm looking to emulate the capabilities of NAI's Sniffer where you
can perform a "capture to file" and have it save some number of files of xx
MB size.

I don't necessarily need the "circular buffer" capabilities that Sniffer has
(e.g. capture up to 100 files of 32MB each, when you're done writing file #
100, overwrite file #1, 2, 3, etc. as needed) but would like to have a very
long term capture running but have it broken into smaller, more manageable
chunks.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
