Hi Jon!

Others have mentioned tcpdump and ethereal.  Good stuff.

You can train tcpdump to "start the recorder" so to speak when a
certian type of packet is seen.  I would start with a few minutes of
"all" and see how much I really need to be specific (how much actual
traffic).  If you know which ports are in use it is very easy to
follow a conversation.

Good Hunting!
