I think I've managed to work it out now :) It's set to use a 16 bit BER 
window and what I did manage to see suggests that the window is based on 
packets. So it's just a case of calculating things from there.

I implemented something for BER lastnight but it does need a little 
tidying. UCB should be much more straightforward. I should be able to 
find time during the week, or if not this weekend. I'll send the patches 
through to Patrick to add to his tree and then we can have a v3 pull 
request.
