Care to rephrase the above as an _unreasonable_ request so that I
can discount it?  hi hi

Unfortunately the above seems perfectly reasonable.  It's something
I would want if I were running AGWPE links across a network often.
I've only done it a small amount for testing and didn't encounter
the problem.

I'll see what I can do.

P.S.  Did anyone ever think Xastir would make it onto the front page
of ARRL.ORG?  We did today!  Of course it's not all that obvious.
You have to click on the Linux Journal entry to make the image large
enough to read the word "Xastir"...
