[Xastir] When your only tool is a hammer- using linux to send aprs packets

[Chris]

I adapted this from an old email list archive, maybe from TAPR, not sure.

It feels dirty heh, but it works.

A bash wrapper around beacon that also starts axlisten for the purpose
of doing UI mode 'chatting'.

It prompts for what to send the UI 'to' and what digi to use.

I've used it to send APRS msg traffic, I just haven't gotten around to
an even dirtier version to look for the proper msg number ID and to
ack those yet.
