[Xastir] How to decipher the Packet Data Received box?

[Norman Heyen]

Thanks! Funny how much sense it makes after someone explains it to you... 
:-)

I'm assuming that if I transmitted RF it would be a 1:TX? I'm still trying
to tell if I'm ever sending RF packets.

Thanks again,
Norman

This denotes that the line is incoming data from the network on interface 0.

> 1:TNC

Incoming data from a TNC on interface 1.

> 0:TX

Transmit on interface 0.  (Which in this case is network server as indicated
by the receive line above)


The thing before the colon is an interface number, as defined in your 
interface control dialog ("Device 0", "Device 1" etc.)  The thing after
the colon is the type of interface (TNC or NET) or "TX" for outgoing data.
That's all there is to it.
