This is frowned upon by the core server people and the Tier-2 server
people.  You should have only one active connection for the internet
side of things into the APRS-IS.

Nope.  We don't have any form of filtering.  It's either on or off.
You can choose receive-only gating, bidirectional gating, or off.

Are you talking about Xastir's .xastir/data/nws-stations.txt file or
talking about the APRS-IS filter you have going?  For Xastir's file
the string must be 3 characters or longer but then I think it
wildcards the rest automatically.  This means if you put "we7u" in
there it will match "we7uaa" through "we7uzz".
