[Xastir] So, a question on all this building...

[Chris]

Yeah, thanks.  There are quite a few kissparms is one, ax25dmon I
think is another.  Just being a bit lazy and trying to avoid yet
another reason to finally get beyond hello_world in C.

JNOS2 has a neat mode called 'axui' which is very much like what I
want.  It does UI conversing and allows using digis in the path...it's
how I experimented with APRS msg format doing digi via WIDE3-1
directed to APRS or CQ alternately.  I actually found a human
listening to test with, unlike plain packet around here which has tons
of nodes, but almost no real people active for kbd to kbd type
conversing.

I just want to take the axui concept and have an aprs mode to auto
handle the msg syntax/formatting.  Not rocket science, but oddly
missing from the pile of 'native' linux console apps.
