IPTRACE is OK in a controlled environment, but it's not something you can 
leave run for weeks at a time (unless you a huge ammounts of free disk 
space :-) ).

One thing I have been hoping to find for several years is a *usable* 
program for looking through a trace. IPFORMAT must be one of the crudest 
programs around. Apparently it can be used to convert a trace to "Sniffer" 
format so that it could be used with other tools, but the '-x' flag which 
is supposed to do this doesn't work for me.
