Outbound.  I checked the one packet marked with ** as noted below.  It was for
one of my downlinks here in my net.  I'll check a little further and see what
the log file for that date has to say.

I understand the extension, but just used that as an example.  I may have
looked upt the date as the packet date, is actually a Friday   All of the above
 are in the outbound directory.  I can send you the full directory listing if
you wish.
