It sounds to me like it might be a line-end issue.  Note that Linux
uses <LF> for line-ends, MacOS uses <CR> for line-ends (but does
MacOSX now use <LF> too?), and Winders uses <CR><LF> for line-ends.

I'd have to look in the code to see what Xastir does, but it's
typical for internet connections to use <CR> as the line-end and
nothing else.

Perhaps DMapper is expecting something different that what Xastir
supplies for line-ends on the server port.
