I mis-spoke. This is not an OpenSS7 implementation, it is the one from
your website.

I'm using sctplib-1.0.3, socketapi-1.3.2 and stt-0.9. The same issues
exist however.

Early on, I had attempted to install the OpenSS7 SCTP package, but ran
into problems and eventually adopted yours since it worked. Could the
remnants of that installation attempt be causing me problems? It is on
the same remote host that I am launching sctpterminal from.

Thanks, Robin
