The new version of ethereal (gnome frontend) has quite a lot of goodies added recently. If your RH is old, probably it may be worthwhile for you to compile-install it from sources.
I am not sure about the source dependency of it as it has been long since I last compiled it. In particular, probably the frontend already requires GTK2 although it used to support GTK1 some years earlier. If so, compilation may as well not work due to obsolete libraries.
Personally, I will do this with old servers that cannot support ethereal: tcpdump capture the packets on the command line, then transport the file written to another machine (say Windows or Linux installations with recent packages) that has an ethereal to view it.
