[Xastir] Internet Interface

[Rob Vance]

Hi Curt;

Yes, I have entered them in the dialog correctly. And yes, I have a working
internet connection.  I've read the wiki and other documents regarding
internet interfaces, and I've searched through the mail archives.  I'll
check the FAQ for the config file thing you mentioned.

The message says it errors on opening the interface.  That's why I am
wondering if it's a permissions thing; but I don't know where to look or
specifically which interface it's trying to open.

BTW: Nice article in Linux Journal.  It's the reason I'm here.
