tcpdump can be made to look clear and readable. You just need to know
which options to use. Try the same options you used with snoop to
watch a all the conversation with that host:
# tcpdump host <ipaddress>
It just puts more info on the screen.
There is also a console version of ethereal called tethereal. I
haven't used it though. Also, ettercap is a pretty decent ncurses
based sniffer, with a few other interesting features.
