I agree with Cathryn that this is a "as designed" issue though I'd argue
we should CHANGE it. Specifically, the Linux netromd man page says
"RECEIVED from a routing broadcast" where as
Kantronics KPC3+ -
http://www.kantronics.com/documents/kpc-3plus_manual_RevD.pdf
"
Page 137
. . .
When K-Net hears neighbor node (A) transmit a node broadcast, it
computes the quality to distant nodes (B, C, D, etc.) contained in that
broadcast
by using the quality that is assigned to neighbor node (A). If the
***resultant
computation*** is less than MINQUAL, the distant nodes (B, C, D, etc.)
are not
added to the nodes table (see QUALITY command).

I also looked around for finding the default for the X1J TNC but
couldn't find a clear citable URL but I believe the default there is 140.
