 +===== Monitor Traffic =====
 +
 +
 +XRouter will send monitor traffic to QTTermTCP, but it will be in XRouter
 +format, not BPQ format, i.e. it will look like this:
 +
 +<code>
 + *** 14:40:51 port 4 rcvd:
 + AX25: G8PZT>G8PZT-1 <RR R R4>
 +
 + *** 14:41:00 port 4 rcvd:
 + AX25: G8PZT>G8PZT-1 <I C R4 S4> ilen=20 pid=207 NET/ROM
 +   NTRM: G8PZT-8 to G8PZT-9 ttl=25 cct=0100 <DISC REQ> 
 +
 + *** 14:41:00 port 4 sent:
 + AX25: G8PZT-1>G8PZT <I C R5 S4> ilen=20 pid=207 NET/ROM
 +   NTRM: G8PZT-9 to G8PZT-8 ttl=25 cct=D208 <DISC ACK> 
 +</code>
 +
 +The displayed port numbers are XRouter's PORT numbers not QTTermTCP's.
 +
 +If your XRouter ports are numbered consecutively from 1, they will agree
 +with the port mumbers under QTTermTCP's "Monitor" tab. If however
 +XRouter's port numbers don't start at 1, or have gaps, QTTermTcp's
 +"Monitor" tab will list consecutively numbered ports, with the XRouter
 +port numbers in brackets like this:
 +
 +<code>
 + Port 1 (2) "Ethernet LAN"
 + Port 2 (4) "Link to KIDDER"
 + Port 3 (5) "Test Port 1"
 + and so on...
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Corrupted Display =====
 +
 +
 +Older versions of QTTermTCP (e.g. 0.0.58) have a bug which loses some
 +data packets, causing a corrupted display. This was reported to G8BPQ
 +and the fixed version should by now be available.
