It works for me on Solaris 7 with the current CVS version of Tethereal:
tethereal -q -w capture_file
does *NOT* display the counter. (If you're not using "-w", it does not
display the counter, regardless of whether you're using "-q" or not -
doing so would get in the way of the display of the packets.)
The "-q" flag first appears in Tethereal 0.9.4; are you running 0.9.4 or
later on Solaris (in which case if you specify "-q" it should just
report an "illegal option" error), or are you running a pre-0.9.4
version (in which case you should get a modern version)?
