recently I am suffering of analyse mobile-phone-related MMSE protocol. normally a MMSE message will be devided into several packets, and I can only "follow TCP stream", but I can't user ethereal to analyze this stream...

What protocols are being used? Ethereal can support MMSE over various WAP protocols, as well as HTTP.

For HTTP, turn on the "Reassemble HTTP headers spanning multiple TCP segments" and "Reassemble HTTP bodies spanning multiple TCP segments" options, and also turn on the "Allow subdissector to reassemble TCP streams" option.

Those options are in the dialog box for "Preferences" in the "Edit" menu. Open up the "Protocols" list, and select HTTP to edit the HTTP preferences and TCP to edit the TCP preferences. Click "OK" to use those settings for the file you have open, and click "Save" and "OK" to make those settings your default.
