The ports you are seeing are RPC ports, and data is represented in XDR
format. If you wanna see some packets, look at the UDP port, but keep in
mind this is *raw* data. No one would want to deal with it in this
format. You'd better use rigctl(or binding, etc.) for example:

	rigctl -vvvvvv -m 1901

BTW, this allows you to run xlog,ktrack,tlf,grig,etc. at the same time.
