OK, but we know the script doesn't use the RF option, anyway.  On the INET
side, does injecting via the udp client automatically send packets to the
IS server if there is a connection to one, i.e in order to make sure the
data is limited to a local display do we need to be sure there is no
Internet interface enabled?
