A plea from the Tier2 sysops:  Please do not connect to more than one server at once.  It just causes duplicates in the system, and wastes bandwidth and cpu on the servers in the network.

Tier2 has a few different round-robins.  It's probably better if you use your regional round-robin.  Those are:

noam.aprs2.net -- North America
euro.aprs2.net -- Europe
asia.aprs2.net -- Asia
soam.aprs2.net -- South America
aunz.aprs2.net -- Australia & New Zealand

We also have a global rotate:  rotate.aprs2.net
