It does have something against "TCPIP" or "TCPXX" though, and this
is what the packet looks like on the air:

N5TD-15>APJI23,WIDE2-1:}KE5C>APJI23,TCPIP,N5TD-15*:!3104.32N/09723.59W-360/000 TESTING/A=000568

Compare that to Jason's example and you'll see that the first one
above doesn't have "TCPIP" in the path.

We refuse to igate anything with TCPXX through to RF, plus we
probably reject anything with TCPIP/TCPXX from gating RF->INET.
More than likely we also just drop that last case entirely without
running it through our decoding at all, but I'd have to check the
code or run one packet through as an experiment to know for sure.

Anyway, that's the only real difference I see between the two
examples posted, one working, one not.
