If you enable it for WIDEn-N up to two hops, it would respond to anyone
using a path of WIDE2-2 or WIDE2-1 or WIDE1-1. If it was set up as a
fill-in digi only, it would only respond to WIDE1-1.

The "digi on my call" (the call in the T2) is one option. Another would
be to pick a non-standard alias for ALIAS 1 <alias> like...

ALIAS 1 MEONLY

and set a path of MEONLY in the VX-8R, or MEONLY,WIDE2-1 if you
hope another digi to pick you up after it goes through the T2. Of
course, if someone sees you being digi'd by MEONLY, there would be 
nothing to stop them from using the path too.

Yet another option... use a path of WIDE2-2,TEMP and enable TEMP as one
of the aliases in the T2 and turn PREEMPT ON for that alias. You would
get at least one hop from the T2 if it hears you. If it doesn't, there's
a chance you will be digi'd by any WIDEn-N digi that hears you.
