hi all, i wasnt able to find the answer by searching
the ethereal site probably because i dont know the
correct terminiology for what i want to do.  a common
trick of students at the college i go to is to change
the AIM client port from 5190 to 23 thus spoofing as
telnet traffic.  sadly, this is enough to get past the
firewall, but my question is how do i force ethereal
to examine data from/to tcp port 23 as the AIM
protocol.

i know the data im looking at is AIM stuff, but
ethereal analyzes it as if it were telnet data.  how
do i change this?

sorry if this information is available and i am asking
a repeat question, but please correct me and let me
know the correct terminology for what i want to do.

thanks
