         Yep, that's what I have been doing.  I've sent FILTER? and I've 
sent Filter? and I've sent filter? and all that happens is that the message 
gets an ack from SERVER but no message as to what my filter is set to.  I 
disconnected from INDIANA.APRS2.NET:14580 and reconnected to 
CLSPCO.FIRENET.US:14580 and got the same results.

         Yes.  That's right.

         Not currently a member, but might change sometime in the 
future.  Maybe.  Depends on some other factors.

         Thanks,
