What if you ran nProbe on the box in question and sent the data over to Ntop
that way?

Thank you, Burton, for clarification. The choice of cat-ing is not an
option, though, as the whole problem started the other way around: the
initial trace file was too big, and my MacOSX' ntop install won't work with
it (file too large, or something like that ...), which forced me to create
smaller files, in the hope that I can "feed" ntop one file at a time ...
