You generate the code using the "callpass" executable.  You then
enter that into Xastir.  If it doesn't match your callsign you have
entered in Xastir (whether it is blank or NOCALL or whatever), then
the internet servers are going to treat you like an unauthenticated
user until you get it all straight.  Not a big deal.  It just means
that you can prowl around the internet just fine but your packets
won't ever get gated to RF anywhere.
