    Hmm on this note I'll throw in a few packets that I picked up in April,
    figured it was coruption in the packet myself since the packets in

    Haven't seen any for over a week, but someone might be able to use the
    information, started around 4/17 until 4/29.  I have tcpdumps of the
    questionable packets.
