Ethereal is excellent, its decodes are often better than those with comercial products such as Sniffer Pro in that they get updated quicker as new standards emerge. It can import file from most of the other network analyzers too. The VOIP decodes in Ethereal are absolutely brilliant. The only thing about it that you may miss is that it doesnt provode all the fancy graphing and base lining functions that the comercial products do, its just a packet decoder (but a hell of a good one). You can get a version that runs on Windows too allthough it seems a lot slower on Windows the Linux.
