[Xastir] Xastir and another APRS program

[vk2tv]

I must have missed this one.

1. Give aprx a callsign-SSID - e.g. F4ACU-3 *
2. Give Xastir a different callsign-SSID - e.g. F4ACU (implies F4ACU-0)  *
   *  They need to be different to steer incoming traffic to the right 
program.
3. Give axports a callsign-SSID (e.g. F4ACU-4) OR an alias, with or with 
out a SSID - e.g. I used to use KEMPC-1, KEMPC-2, etc (my town was 
Kempsey) in axports.  Kernel AX25 only uses the axport's configured 
callsign with tools like "call" (axcall) and beacons, and TCP/IP if that 
is configured in kissattach. Using an alias-SSID may not be legal in 
some countries.

I used multiple programs sharing ax25 ports for years with my big packet 
BBS/Node system and it works well. I used alias-SSID in axports because 
I'd run out of callsign-SSID combinations.
