Yes, but looking at the code it appears that the curses libraries
are being called even in daemon mode.  I wonder if there are any
downsides to this (for example, size of application, complexity
of code, possible security issues, etc...).

The "new version" I envision would strip out any unnecessary
dependencies leaving us a lean-and-mean daemon for monitoring
and logging network traffic.

...but maybe I've misread the code.  I admit, I only spent
15 minutes or so glancing over it.
