Danny,

A list of kiss codes is on the debug.html page in the documentation. 
Yes, I agree nobody would think to look for it there. A list of tally 
codes and flash codes is on the ntpq.html page. A list of system log 
messages is on the msyslog.html page. I reserve the right to change 
these at any time and I do so not infrequently. Unless you harvest 
frequently, your caches will get stale.
