Is there a way to set up Ethereal so that it can run continuously while 
the computer is running without allowing the file/buffer to grow 
infinitely in size?  I would want oldest data to be dumped as necessary 
once the file/buffer was full so that the the capture could be stopped as 
soon as one of several intermittent errors occur and the resulting file 
would be of a limited size (say 2 MB) and contain the most recently 
captured data up to the max size.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
