Unless you have a fat pipe and a beefy machine, I wouldn't use firenet.us:2023 
---  your display will be a sea of blue (all the wx and water gauges), and
your connection will be busy full time.  I use a filtered port.

My current internet-based setup uses arizona.aprs2.net:14580 for most things,
and firenet.us:14580 for the rest, both with range filters in place 
('r/35/-106/500' --- for 500km around 35dN/106dW).

HTH,
T.
