     tcpdump -A port 50 output is tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, 
use -v or -w for all protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB 
(Ethernet), capturing size 65535 bytes, and a blinking cursor which I 
left for 20 min and re-started, tried with  -v  got listening on eth0, 
type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes. re-started and meant 
to use  -w but forgot and just typed tcpdump. That gave tons of output 
which I can't fathom  and let it go for 30 minutes. Re-started one more 
time and pinged nytimes.com  That returned screenful  of data packets 
all ok. Then shutdown  til tomorrow.
