Thanks you. My administrator views the capture file on the Stratus
rather than bringing it to his local machine.  Since it's a telnet
session, my guess is that it is plain text.  I will try it and post the
results.

Unless Stratus chose to use one of the file formats we already support:

	http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q1.4

the answer is "no".  If the file format is a text format, you might be
able to convert it to libpcap format (Ethereal's native format) with the
text2pcap utility that comes with Ethereal.  If you have trouble with
that, ask ethereal-users for help.
