[Xastir-dev] Help testing messaging

On Wed, May 18, 2005 at 09:19:34AM -0700, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the <archer at eskimo.com> flavor, containing:

I just tried it out.

Here's what I saw (my outgoing path was obviously overkill, but I wanted 
to be sure I hit an igate quickly):
0:TX -> KM5VY>APX151,WIDE3-3::WHO-IS   :WE7U{AC}00
0:TNC-> KM5VY>APX151,WIDE3-2::WHO-IS   :WE7U{AC}00
0:TNC-> W5MPZ-1>APS221,WIDE3-2:}WHO-IS>APJSWI,TCPIP,W5MPZ-1*::KM5VY    :ackAC}

so I got an ack from WHO-IS and xastir recognized it, changing the shading of 
the message in the dialog.

Then:
0:TNC-> W5MPZ-1>APS221,WIDE3-1:}WHO-IS>APJSWI,TCPIP,W5MPZ-1*::KM5VY    :WE7U/E/CURTIS E MILLS/ARLINGTON, WA 98223{01
 0:TX -> KM5VY>APX151,WIDE3-3::WHO-IS   :ack01

I don't know if WHO-IS recognized the ack, but I didn't see any repeats of the 
reply, so I assume so.

I was using code updated this evening, RF only.

HTH,
T.
