This requires modifying the IGate to do that listening and IGating, but requires no modification to client software.

Any linux or native windows tablet phone or notebook can be used for it, 
just a normal client like xastir or aprsis32, connected to agwpe or 
linux ax25 interface.
For linux setup axipd to connect to a hub or directly to a gate, agwpe 
uses the axip driver from lu7did 
http://www.qsl.net/lu7did/bin/axipdrv/axipdrv.txt.
both the hub and gateway use digined with agwpe and axipdrv or axipd.
The gate is set to digipeat anything to be digied trough it's call from 
internet to rf: digipeat: 1,2 DIGI_CALL 1
The hub is set to digipeat anything to all ports but the one it recieved 
on: digipeat: all * allbut keep0
limiting is done with keep_time: 300 for 5 minutes

just like an RF station the path setting is done by the client and 
limited by digipeaters.

afterall the idea is to include a internet station into the rf network 
not simply gate then.
