I don't think you can do this via the packet window, but you can certainly
enter the spot on to the Band Map (set up a function key with '%B' as the
only entry. Then as you spot stations you can hit that function key and it
will put it in the Band Map) where the colors show up correctly for 'new
mult' or 'new station' or 'dupe.' You can then click on the call from the
Band Map and have it automatically move you to the frequency and hit F12 to
go back to a run frequency.

Yes, I use DXtelnet which does an excellent job of connecting to multiple
packet nodes, including an RF node, and presenting spots to WriteLog. WA9ALS
has documentation on his site for also sending the spots to his logging
program at the same time as WriteLog. Otherwise, the DXtelnet documentation
should have you working just fine. I use it here, so if you need more help,
I can do that. I don't remember the DXtelnet site, but it's in my web site
under 'WriteLog Links' and 'Other Links.' http://www.k9jy.com
