tcpdump can be made to look clear and readable.  You just need to know
which options to use.  Try the same options you used with snoop to
watch a all the conversation with that host:

# tcpdump host <ipaddress>

It just puts more info on the screen.

There is also a console version of ethereal called tethereal.  I
haven't used it though.  Also, ettercap is a pretty decent ncurses
based sniffer, with a few other interesting features.
