Packet monitor program
This program is designed to monitor packet activity under the BPQ Node
software and Desqview.
There are two files supplied;
MONITOR.EXE The program.
MONITOR.NEW A list of updates.
MONITOR.DOC This file.
The program requires some command line parameters; the COM's port number
and the port number (which port(s) to monitor).
For example;
MH -p 3 255

| | Monitor all Ports
| \
| COM 03:
\
MCOM ON (optional)
The '-p' parameter is used to tell the program to monitor all packets (MCOM
ON) not just information packets. If the node can hear a lot of traffic, this
can cause corruption as the program will not be able to remove the data from
its 'TNC' (virtual) fast enough. To cure this, omit the '-p' and the program
will only monitor information frames (there may still be some corruption if
its very busy!).
The COM port number is the virtual BPQ COM port you allocate to this program.
The port number is the decimal representation of the binary number sent to the
BPQ code to tell it which ports to monitor. To monitor a port the ports bit
must be set. So to monitor port 1 only then type in a 1, port 2 a 2, port 3 a
4 and port 8 an 8. To monitor all ports type in 255 (sets all bits) and for
any other combination, the decimal number that sets the required bits.
To end the program use the 'Esc' key THIS WILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS (in DESQview
you may have to try twice). If you just close the DESQview window the BPQ node
will still think the program there and will still try to send the monitored
packets to the program.
I hope that all that was not too garbled! If you have any problems, contact
