I have many different PC's that capture different subnets. When I want to make a trace for a VoIP call I use at the time being 2-3 different ethereal PC's. 

This is very difficult if it has to be done very often.
Do you know if there is a solution to that problem?
I could imagine a kind of control-master PC where the client ethereal stations are controlled and tracers are then delivered to this master PC. 


That's a feature commonly known as remote capturing.

Currently, Ethereal is not well prepared to do such a job.
Although this is widely excepted to be a useful feature, please don't expect any improvements on this topic soon...
