Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] FYI: Compliments ... Re: Ethereal etc
Bill
In case you're not on the Ethereal dev mailing list I was asked to forward
this to you, in regards to your e-mail to the list about "I'm going to add a
slave port of tethereal to the ethereal port so we can build a non-X
version."

Please notify the people in the FreeBSD ISP mailing list so they don't
duplicate the work that has already been done.
I have started some work on a curses based variant, however it is still
preliminary (doesn't compile yet) and will not be ready for some time.
I haven't posted anything to the CVS tree and don't plan to until I can
at least build it.
