[Xastir] Intermittent internet connection

[Matt Werner]

Why not connect to a port on an igate that is for incoming data only,
that way you never receive data from the igate, you just send it to
the igate?

I know there are ports for such a purpose - I just don't remember what
they are.  Maybe someone else does here otherwise I would try asking
on the aprssig.
