You were right. That worked. I am noticing one thing, when I establish
a connection that goes through a digi or two, it looks like the
frame counters get screwed up not sure what is going on, but
what I see is the I frame is sent, the far end ask for a repeate
and off it goes again, it looks ike the far end is not getting the
right frame number. If I send a new line again, the previous
line is sent on to the target.
