So in that case you connect Xastir to the TNC via AX.25 networking
as well and it then has a direct connect to RF w/o going through the
igate.  Might need to change the SSID in this case though.

Can javaprssrvr filter out all but a few callsigns as was originally
requested?

Javaprssvrv is free, but not open-source as I understand.
