I think I would have recommended aprsd or javasvr (sp?) or similar
instead of Xastir.  Anything where you don't need a GUI and it just
provides the inet functions.

If you're going to use Xastir then you'd probably want to restart it
once every month or two to keep the memory image down.  You can do
this by sending it a SIGHUP command.  See the FAQ.  You can also
start it up in a mode where it won't do any popups, not even when
somebody messages to you, which would be a good startup option for a
server.
