DESCRIPTION
Mheardd is a daemon that collects the statistics about the activity on
all the AX.25 channels that are configured. The list generated is
available for viewing by the mheard(1) program. The information collected is a superset of the information normally collected by similar
mheard programs and this is reflected in the options available for the
viewing program. Logging to the system log file may be enabled which
will enable monitoring of pathalogical conditions, for example invalid
frame types and invalid/unknown protocol IDs.
