[Xastir] Maps question

[Gerry Creager]

Andrew,

While you were out, we set up such a server for ftp access at 
aprs.tamu.edu, also known as first.aprs.net.  I provide US radar imagery 
via web services at mesonet.tamu.edu: Look at the radar WMS .geo for 
more detail.

I can host maps here, or you can, or we both can, but these things have 
been discussed a bit in the past.
