[Xastir] Can't connect to internet server.

[Gerry Creager n5jxs]

I'm off to bed now, and up early working on HamCom presentations.  I've 
gotta have 'em done by 1700 local, when I start talking.  I should be 
done by 1400 Sat.

That said, try connecting to fourth.aprs.net:10152 and see if you get 
something better.

Also, while dialed in, can you telnet to aprswwest.net?  can you 'telnet 
fourth.aprs.net 10152' ?

If you can, then GetHostByName should be working.
