Suppose I had a WiFi Access Point like a Wap 11 connected to my local
lan.  Could I use aprsdigi to redirect all aprs traffic heard on 144.39
(via AX25 in Linux) out the Wap 11?  How about the reverse?  Could I
run aprsdigi on a linux box at the other end of the street, pick up the
UDP broadcasts on the WiFi port and feed the packets out on AX25 RF -- on
144.39 with a WIDE7-7 path of course.   :-)

How would this tie to aprs-is?  Could I use aprsdigi to feed the
entire aprs-is feed out a WiFi AP as UDP packets?

What "clients" would receive these UDP packets?

As Bob B. just asked on APRSSIG, the D-Star's are simple IP
bridges with a bit more power then a WiFi AP.  If aprsdigi
worked with a WiFi AP, then it would probably also work with
the DStar to broadcast APRS traffic.

Always looking for more ways to make packets, cause trouble
and pick on Curt...
