no, but I have not determined if any others I see are using the
Open2300 software

not tested - I tried to set xastir to the OM's callsign, got a suitable
callpass calculated but I didn't get any incoming data, other than
logon confirmation from the servers
I didn't expect xastir to be able to tell the difference and know it
wasn't my callsign.....
