It's the same setup as logging on to an internet server.

"telnet localhost 2023" will get you the data streaming towards you.
To authenticate, you send "user xxxx pass yyyy", at which point
you'll be able to send stuff upstream.

    "user WE7U-13 pass XXXX vers XASTIR 1.3.3"

Connect another APRS client to that port and it should authenticate
and be able to send to any server that Xastir is connected to, as
well as receive packets from all ports/servers Xastir is hooked to.
Exceptions to this currently are some of the binary ports, like
Serial KISS, where the packets will be the raw stuff that Xastir is
receiving on that port, not the internet-compatible TAPR-2 style
packet format that you expect from a server.
