Pete,
One _transmission_ isn't always one _packet_.
Chances are you are transmitting multiple packets per transmission,
which would be indicative of your rtt value being too low.
The irtt parameter is the initial rtt parameter, you should start
this at a high value. I use 5 seconds for 4800, but that is probably
an ok starting point for 1200 too.

Buffering in the tnc.
Listen displays raw AX.25 packets _when they are received/transmitted
by the kernel_
