Great!

Where the data goes depends on what you've told it to do in pqact.conf. 
If you didn't tell it to do anything, the data would arrive and simply
sit in your product queue until space was needed for a new product.  At
that time the old product would be overwritten.  It's pqact that files
products or pipes them through a decoder.
If you want you can send me a copy of your pqact.conf file and we can
"talk" about it.  

Also, be sure to check the log regularly for any problems.

I'm going to talk to someone about the checksum problem that you saw in
your traceroute output.  Probably there's not much we can do about it,
but at least I'll see what I can find out.
