How are these stats collected? Do these numbers reflect stations
heard from RF and igated, or stations actually themselves connected to
the IS? Or both since the default would be for the IS to contain both
Internet-only and RF-gated-to-Internet stations.
I ask since I am puzzled how APRSdos shows up at all since it lacks
Internet connectivity. I assume this must reflect APRSdos stations
heard over RF by an igate.
