Having not tried the command yet, I can't speak from experience... but 
knowing what I do about *nix's (which isn't much yet, but I'm getting 
there), yes, the -ppp0 refers to PPP device #0, which implies you would 
use that for monitoring a dialup connection.

So you should be able to replace that with whatever device you currently 
want to monitor. As for what that device name is... I can't say for sure. 
eth0 would be a good guess, but you may have to verify it (I know on my 
Q610 NetBSD box, the built in ethernet is "sn0").

When in doubt, you can probably type "man tcpdump" in the terminal and 
learn much of what you may need to know (ut oh... another one of those 
scarey OS X command line thingys!!!)
