[Xastir] Couple of Small Problems, Maybe?

[Curt Mills]

No, it's frowned upon to connect to multiple internet servers at once.
You'd switch the one you have defined over to one of the Firenet addresses
instead. Firenet and the APRS-IS servers are connected, so you should just
pick up MORE stuff with Firenet but not lose anything by connecting there
instead of APRS-IS.

Some stuff is only on Firenet. Like quakes down to magnitude 0.1, more of
the NWS weather alerts, stuff like that.
