Hmm, As wireshark used to give truncated messages in the middle of a packet from tcpdumps output with -C and -W I assumed I may just lose a packet or could get the bytes right. i think there are also line modes on both tools. It's always better to use something designed for the job though so thanks, I'll look into them. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
