Another:  One Xastir station connected to one or more radios.
Computer is connected via ethernet cables or wireless to a local
LAN.  Other computers connect to that computer over the LAN and are
involved in SAR ops or a public service event.  Allowing each of the
"other" computers running an APRS program to gate through the Xastir
station to RF would be an advantage.

Yes please.  Third-party libraries have been a constant problem,
both from a building standpoint and from a crashing standpoint.
