Any sniffer should be able to sniff any and all traffic on a given LAN.
If that LAN uses a switch instead of a hub it might be less successful.
If the sniffer is not on the same physical network as the iSeries you
won't be able to sniff it.

Perhaps the trial version is incomplete?  There are plenty of sniffers out
there.  http://freshmeat.net should have several.
