My concern about changing this is that for a configuration like the one
here, basically nodes will only get added if they come in as quality
255. That is the (254*120 + 128)/256 = 119.

When K-Net hears neighbor node (A) transmit a node broadcast, it
computes the quality to distant nodes (B, C, D, etc.) contained in
that broadcast
by using the quality that is assigned to neighbor node (A). If the
***resultant
computation*** is less than MINQUAL, the distant nodes (B, C, D, etc.)
are not
added to the nodes table (see QUALITY command).

I also looked around for finding the default for the X1J TNC but
couldn't find a clear citable URL but I believe the default there is 140.

Err, I don't think it's really a bug. He's probably got a node coming
in at quality 120 and then it does (120 * 120 +128)/256 Maybe update
the man page to explain what's going on.
worstqual this is the worst quality node received
from a routing broadcast that will be added
to our routing table.
