You don't have to use the z cpu cycles for wireshark:

issue tcpdump into file in the zlinux machine
copy the file to a linux desktop with opensuse for example
run wireshark with that infile

If all you have is Window, get yourself PuTTY and xming. [1], [2]
PuTTY gives you ssh and X11-tunneling
xming gives you X11 windows on your single-Window desktop.

Window doesn't do named-pipes from the command-line [3], [4]
However, [5] shows how to get around this

That's the hard way though.
The easier way is to get && install && start xming
then get && install PuTTY
"Default Settings" & Load
left-side --> +SSH --> X11
        [x] Enable X11 forwarding
left-side --> Session (back to the top)
"Default Settings" $ Save
;; now you've set X11 for all following sessions - better than
;; forgetting it & having to add it to each session

load your new Default
enter "[email protected]" into "Hostname", port 22, *SSH
enter "[email protected]" into Saved Sessions
;; 999 is German for nein, nein, nein, aka no no no
;; change as neccessary
hit "Save"
hit "Open"
at the session you now get, enter "xclock -update 1 &"
You should see an xclock on your window (but it might just be hiding
underneath one of the open applications on your desktop

This is known to work on any "headless" [6] unix I've ever worked with.
You might need to install your distribution's version of "xbase-clients"
Caveat: I have to use this at one client's shop regularly, but I'm not
uptodate on what the current "big-2" distributions are offering in the
way of X11 libraries and toys these days.
