[Xastir] Server Port vs. Internet Server?

[Kevin Ratcliff]

Andrew,

Thanks for the Perl code. However, I was hoping to make this work by 
connecting Dmapper directly to the Xastir server port using its built-in 
feature. Since Dmapper successfully connects to APRS Internet servers I 
assumed it would work with the Xastir server port as well. If the format 
of the Xastir server port is different than the format of the APRS 
Internet servers then I understand why it doesn't work.

If they are both sending the data with the same format then I'm still 
puzzled as to why I can't get this setup to work. This could be an 
Xastir issue, a Dmapper issue, or most likely user error on my part! If 
nobody has any suggestions then I can email the author of Dmapper, but 
since Xastir has a support group and Dmapper doesn't I thought I'd start 
here.

Also, I guess I should mention that Dmapper does decode MY position when 
connected to the Xastir server port, just not any of the others. I am 
set up without a transmitter right now so it is decoding my position 
directly through the server port without any digipeating.

Thanks.
