[Serusers] Capturing all messages for testing purposes

[Greger V. Teigre]

I don't think you are clear on what you want. If you want to "capture 
all the messages" it WILL be large and cumbersome.  tcpgrp+sip_scenario 
is a good choice for SIP protocol analysis (or wireshark). You can for 
example create smaller dump files by restarting tcpdump with a new 
redirection file every hour or so to make them smaller.
ngrep can be found in the SER Getting Started everything package, very 
good for simple analysis and call traces.

acc will just give you... accounting (i.e. start/stop), so that's maybe 
not what you want?
