Well, according to Tom's message from a couple of days ago: Xastir is a great APRS client, and you can do a > lot with the server port, but it really isn't great at doing things like > gating network traffic (other than messages) to RF.

So xastir doesn't do general purpose igating. I have successfully gated objects in the past, but I need to gate/repeat packets from another network in a general purpose manner. Xastir has similar restrictions on digipeating. It isn't a general purpose tool for that. While what I'm doing technically (in network terminology) is gateway functionality, in reality the 2 networks are close enough that a (very) general purpose repeater could do it. And yes, I can run xastir on a BBB no problem. with a touchscreen and Curt's #defines for small screen optimization, no less. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
