No matter what I type as the filter ( Capture...Start..) I get an "Unable to
parse filter string (parse error)" message.  Yes, I have looked at the
tcpdump manual ( I use tcpdump often ) and still cannot figure out how to
get the filters to work in ethereal.  Even the example you give in the man
pages for ethereal fails with the same error message.

Do you have any updated references for this?  Could you show me an example
of how to filter for a specific host on telnet port?
