I may have misled you, now that I see "dialup"; if the connection is through a USB port or a serial port to a modem, rather than Ethernet to a router/modem which does the dialup, there may be no Ethernet stream to monitor.

      I had to look around for the last release of version 1.10 as the newer 
ones are not compatible with WinXP.  I installed it on both laptops, mpw I have 
to get familiar with how it works.  For now, I cannot seem to get it to 
interface with the dialup connection.

Perhaps you know of the freeware application Wireshark, which can be
used to monitor Ethernet traffic?

" Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol
analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a
microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard
across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies,
and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to
the volunteer contributions of networking experts around the globe and
is the continuation of a project started by Gerald Combs in 1998."

You can filter for desired protocols, at any layer, in your case
presumably HTTP and HTTPS. It's an X Window app, BTW.
