I'm looking into that.  Unfortunately it's not in Sarge.  I have found a 
few since I posted by changing my search terms.  (I tend to always pick 
what sounds like good search terms that don't give me good hits!)

I just started looking at tcpdump, but I'm not sure if it'll give more 
than packet headers.  Unfortunately, I need to get this done tonight 
and this is the big hold up -- once I clear this, the rest will be 
easy, so it's one of those cases where I'm hoping I can find an easy to 
use tool that I don't have to spend hours learning how to configure.
