[Xastir] Couple of Small Problems, Maybe?

[Halley Melinda]

Hey, Curt,thanks for the replies. I have the I-gating set up as you suggested. We're using noam.aprs2.net as the server and the code that callpass generated when we used it.
When you talk about the firenet server stuff, how would I use that? Do I set up another internet interface?
Thanks again,Mickey

Hey David,This is Mickey, Flip's wife. the xastir site has "TBD" on the section for Igating. Other than how to turn on igating, there's no help.

The most up-to-date docs would be the text files with the code. The Wiki pages won't be as complete.
For igating there are two places to tweak in Xastir:
1) File -> Configure Defaults -> IGate Options2) Interface -> Interface Control -> Add -> Internet Server -> Add -> Put in options there for the particular APRS-IS server you want to connect to.
I'd recommend checking "Activate on Startup?" "Allow Transmitting", and "Reconnect on NET failure?". You'll need to put in Host, Port, and Pass-code there.
Also note that you can click on the dashed-line on the drop-down windows to chop them off and make them stick around for a bit. You can then hit the 'X' in the corner to make them go away.
Also on the "Interface" menu is "Disable Transmit: ALL". Do NOT check that.
