I use a custom lex/yacc parser for the tethereal output, yank out what want, and insert it into postgresql.

That would let them get data from Ethereal, although it doesn't give them what they want for the second part of what they wanted:

If this wasn't already hard enough, we also need a way to handle
events like clicking on a packet in sequence diagram -> highlight
packet details in ethereal...
(we thought to write some kind of protocol and also use sockets to get
that job done , but therefore I think we need to bind some callbacks
from Ethereal)
