[ale] TCPDUMP and its alternatives?

[Michael B. Trausch]

At one point, I had to do some debugging of network connections at one 
point, and I went searching for utilities to log connections and data 
transmission, and found something really nice.  However, I cannot seem to 
find that same program again.  As I recall, it was based on the pcap 
library, and was like tcpdump, but the output was more human-friendly -- It 
would do things like:

It is rather nice output, at least in my opinion, and I need its services 
again to try to figure out if KMail is borking my IMAP folder at school, or 
if the Exchange server is.  Of course, I think it is the Exchange server, 
since the problems started Saturday morning after their maintenance window.  
Of course, because I use software that isn't Outlook Express, I always have 
to prove that their software is the problem, and not mine.  *shrugs*

I have to do the same thing with ComCast, but the last time I needed 
anything was a while ago.

Does anybody happen to know what tool I am talking about?  I am pretty sure 
it didn't have the word "dump" in its name, but I could be wrong.
