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. --David > Err, I don't think it's really a bug.
