[aprssig] Digipeater routing: 'Get me to findu'

[William McKeehan]

Not too much information for me! Sounds like something worth remembering and
trying.

Is there a list somewhere of these "services" that are out there listening?

On a related topic, if I go into an area which has a DIGI_NED station with
"tiny web pages", is there any generic query that will cause it to identify
itself?
