It's payload+header.  I fudged it actually since I'm not processing  
kiss frames, but using the "tncport" socket on my javaaprs server  
which passes decoded frames from the TNC.  I drop the timestamp and  
count all the text from then on.  It's not exact but it's "close  
enough". :)

I did a scatterplot in Excel as well and it confirmed just how  
constant the traffic is.  I didn't think we were loading the local  
channel that much, but I guess I have to revise my opinion!

Carl.
