You might use Google instead.  Just add in part or all of the list
information in the query between quotes, so that it'll only (or
mostly) find info from the list.

Not that I know of.  If you have something that works and are
willing, perhaps we could add it to Xastir for others to use?

The transmit strings are not all displayed, or rather, a
representative string gets displayed, but it's in the format for an
internet transmit.  You won't see each transmit for each TNC
interface.

The received packets should be displayed there though, if the TNC(s)
are sending them to Xastir.  If there are errors in the packet as
received then Xastir will never get them.  At my location I get very
few stations direct, and get a lot of bad packets.
