[Xastir] Remote headless server options for use with Xastir?

[Bill Vodall]

If all you're doing is APRS, there's no need for the ldsped or even
AX25 interfaces - though it's incredibly useful for other packet
applications.  Just use the TCP server port in DIXPRS or APRX.   I
think they both do that - there's always APRSD or APRC if they don't.
