I would like to be able to follow multiple streams. I
guess I would like a follow the tcp stream in a new
window option. That way I could compare multiple
streams at a time instead of following a stream >

window. I would like to be able to compare each
streams packets instead of just the "Contents of the
stream". Currently I work around this by saving the
capture and running multiple instances of ethereal.
The only reason I want this feature is because I am
lazy by nature.
Ethereal is an invaulable resource in the lab. Thanks
for such a great product.
