Yea, there's not timestamping on individual lines.  The timestamps
are once per 30 seconds and look like this:

# 001547

That equates to 00:15:47 (early in the morning).  I didn't put the
date in there as I'm rolling over my log files every night, so I
already know the date for the file.

People have requested a full date/time stamp on each packet, but
that would increase the size of the log files quite a bit.  I'd also
have to tweak the "read in a logfile" routines to ignore that part
of the line, or else put the timestamp just above each line in a
comment.  The latter would be easiest.

I could add the date and appropriate separators to the current
timestamp if you'd like.  That'd only take a few seconds to code.
