[Xastir] Some advice on a dedicated Xastir box please?

[Brian Heaton]

Neil,

	I just kicked Xastir (CVS) off and connected it to the Internet
stream.  After a few minutes it was consuming 36M with a few WinAPRS
maps loaded in addition to the stations off the Inet. You probably can
run on 64MB, but with SDRAM prices what they currently are I'd probably
rather have 128-256M in the machine to make it more comfortable.
