This is a fast way to check stations around your igate.  It'll show
packets for the last 24 hours, and you can see if chars are missing
from the end, particularly if you have multiple igates in the area:

So far the truncation has only been seen in the Seattle area on one
Xastir igate.  That station is using a version of CVS updated
saturday and a Serial KISS TNC interface.

If anyone else is seeing such truncation on other Xastir igates, I
REALLY want to hear about it soon.
