[Xastir] Internet Interface

[Rob Vance]

Good point.  Xastir is on the same machine I am sending this email on - it
surfs just fine.  So, generally, yes my internet connection works.  However,
I just tried loading the page as you described (
http://rotate.aprs.net:14501/) and it won't load.  Hmmm.  I dunno.  Webpages
at Linuxjournal.com, http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xastir,
and Google Mail, and http://lists.xastir.org/pipermail/xastir seem to work
just fine.  I can even ping UCSD as Curt suggested.

I just tried port 14580 as well; same results.
