[Xastir] serial ports and tcpip

[ke4lkq]

Yes Curt, I can run a netcat on each end but the listening end has to be 
started first in listen mode and then I get data.  Unfortunatly when trying 
to set up the network weather in xastir, when you enable it it listens for a 
couple of microseconds and doesn't give one time to go then and start the 
netcat on the other end.  You get a hard fail in xastir since no data is 
flowing or the socket doesn't exist yet.  I have yet to see an instance of 
starting the data before starting the listener to work with netcat, and I 
don't know why.
