Here's some code from list_gui.c, where it is displaying the Local
stations:

        case LST_TNC:
            if (forward == 1)
                while (!found && (*p_station) != NULL) {
                    if (((*p_station)->flag & ST_ACTIVE) != 0
                     && ((*p_station)->flag & ST_VIATNC) != 0)
                        found = (char)TRUE;
                    else
                        (*p_station) = (*p_station)->n_next;
                }

It appears that the ST_VIATNC flag might be getting set for
3rd-party messages heard on the local TNC.

I'll have to look further to see where the ST_VIATNC flag is getting
set, and then knock that out for third-party packets.

BTW:  I've seen remote stations show up in my Local Stations list at
home as well, when connected to a local TNC and to an internet
server.

At work, connected only to an internet server, the Local Stations
list is always empty.  At least that's correct.
