[Xastir] a feature request

[Jeremy Utley]

Are you running under Linux with AX.25 linux support enabled?  If so,
you could use the beacon command from the ax.25 tools to send out your
beacon text from a cron job.

(It works just fine in i-gate mode without WX) UI-View DOES allow this when both igate and WX are operating from the same TNC.  The only workaround I could come up with is using the TNC in serial mode and programming a btext at a specified interval.  In essence, the TNC is still a slave to the computer for all i-gate operations and weather packets, but has a mind of it's own when it comes to status text/comments.
