[Xastir] how do I?

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Adding an element of practicality, Best Buy EMachines deals are often 
able to provide a smokin' computer for $400; systems from mini-itx.com 
or Soekris can do the job, as well.  In fact, for $200, the Soekris 
(www.soekris.com) systems are pretty nice.  I'm looking at several 
(hundred!) for the Texas Mesonet project as embedded data collectors and 
preprocessors.

While the app name escapes me, there's a daemon available to 
transmogrify serial data into a tcp stream.  Hmmm.  Multicast stream? 
No, guess not.  Most of the carriers and ISPs aren't ready for that!
