I disagree with that statement, but only slightly.  There's no way a
"properly coded" APRS program would be bothered by OpenTrac.  Some
of the programs might try to decode packets that used a different
protocol ID than APRS, for instance if they had KISS TNC capability
they might see TCP/IP packets and OpenTrac packets and try to decode
them as APRS.  The program in this case _should_ filter out anything
that's not the APRS protocol ID, but some may not.

Your post was on topic BTW.  At least as far as I'm concerned.
