[aprssig] APRServe??

[Glenn Wiebe]

Thanks for the replies Robbie & Steve. Here is the burning question:
How do I configure WinAPRS (not UI-View or any other program) to connect to
rotate.aprs.net on port 23 or any other other regional filtered feed? A really 
basic question the answer to which seems to elude me.
