I don't think you are clear on what you want. If you want to "capture
all the messages" it WILL be large and cumbersome. tcpgrp+sip_scenario
is a good choice for SIP protocol analysis (or wireshark). You can for
example create smaller dump files by restarting tcpdump with a new
redirection file every hour or so to make them smaller.<br>
ngrep can be found in the SER Getting Started everything package, very
good for simple analysis and call traces.<br>
<br>
acc will just give you... accounting (i.e. start/stop), so that's maybe
not what you want?<br>

<p><font size="2"><span class="525120813-26032007">I </span>want to
run some automated testing over a weekend or some extended period of
time. Ethereal captures tend to get quite large and cumbersome from my
experience. I wanted to get a simple interface or use serweb to view
them (if that's possible?) so that I don’t have to deal with several
programs at the same time. And I thought since the data will be stored
in MySQL, I can write a simple query to display the data if I needed to.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Thank you for your suggestion. But I would like to
