[aprssig] IGate test needed

[AE5PL Lists]

I agree, Tapio.  The "from" call should designate who (or what) is
inserting these packets into APRS.  These are really objects, not APRS
stations so they really should be inserted as objects, not APRS
stations.  Both the Winlink and EchoLink servers use objects.
