Some not very exhaustive testing here indicate that ctrl-T spotting only
works in my XP system if the pktObject=writelog.pkt.9 entry is in the INI
file. It doesn't work without the entry, and it doesn't work with the
DXTelnet object reference.
I have contacted the DXT author about the issue. There is a DXT workaround
if he can't get it to work with the WL object. I will post a follow up to
the reflector after Fabio responds.
