[aprssig] RE: APRS Message Idea

[Wes Johnston]

I thought IGATED outbound objects were supposed to be tagged with TCP as a
pseudo path element, and other IGATES wouldn't gate them to the net to prevent
loops?  If this is the case, then FIRENET objects gated to RF would not have
been gated back into the APRS-IS.
