[Xastir-dev] interface xastir to aprs-over-lora

[Kristoff]

Hi Tom, Robert, all,


Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll do an investation at the different options and work from there on.
The "Enable Server Ports" looks like a very interesting option.

I just did a quick check. It works (even in ipv6 :-) ) and as the port 
is bind to all addresses, which means that I should be able to send the 
LoRa data directly from/to the ESP32 on the LoRa radio to the xastir 
server over wifi.

Nice.


I'll give it a try and see how it goes.



Thx :-)
