I thought that aprsd didnt support JavAPRS style filtering, not seen
the above syntax before, so I wrote a patch to add the functionality.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356081

Its against the Debian source, but should probably apply to the
sourceforge code as well, as I think they are quite similiar
code bases
