Yep!  At some point we should be able to tell the interfaces code
which packets we wish to store _AND_ we should have the GUI
front-end able to request from the database only the packets that
the person wishes displayed.  The default would be to store/display
all packets received.

Think of it as your own private findu, but with more capability.
