Here is a small bit of output from tcpdump (this is the first time I
ever used it)

notebook2# tcpdump -vv -i tun0
tcpdump: listening on tun0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 96 bytes

 Craig, I really don't  know how to use this thing (tcpdump). I could
read up on.

                                  Kind regards,
                                   Jon
