Yes! I mean IP Encapsulating Security Payload from RFC 2406.  Since it
encapsulates the TCP header information, Ethereal cannot follow the TCP
stream.  However, since ESP has it's own system of sequence numbers, I was
wondering if someone wrote a plugin to follow that stream
Thanks!

The "Follow TCP Stream" option is "supported" for all protocols that run
atop TCP, in the sense that it'll show you the payload from the TCP session.

If by "ESP" you mean the IP Encapsulating Security Payload from RFC 2406,
unless there'a way to run that over TCP, there's nothing to support in
"Follow TCP Stream".
