	120 hours

	No, I was just sitting in the house using the laptop with no GPS attached.

	Yes, however, it is set to transmit my position once every 55 minutes, making 
me doubt it sent any positins while downloading and displaying the track.

	Negative.

	The setup here is my Toshiba laptop, running Kubuntu 7.04, with Xastir 1.9.0.  
Not using a TNC, strictly with the TCP/IP feed.

	Oh yeah, ME is KD5XB-11, the same as the trail I tried to use.  I noticed 
that, if I change the callsign in Xastir to KD5XB, then the trail is 
downloaded and looks just fine.

	Thanks,
	Earl
