8/26/00 Other thoughts:

- Number of "Bad packets" (0x00 and 0xFF in wrong place, or invalid packet types) would be nice to know

- FEC will be an external process, but it would be nice to see how many bit errors it found displayed on the fcsview. I don't know the interface or whatnot but we will by Monday/Tuesday.

- I highlighted in yellow the data that's important for the display
