[Xastir] ax25 nodes

[ke4lkq]

You are saying it better than I can, YES,YES.  I guess if I can learn enough 
about the unix operating system and all the little goodies that have been 
written, this could be done now by piping whatever different apps together to 
accomplish what I want to do.  HOWEVER, I don't know what they are, am still 
learning. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Vic.
