hmm ok i also want to gate traffic directly from i.e ISS but also only  
user traffic digipeated by i.e ISS as in RS0ISS* etc

A workaround could be to install APRSC locally and not connect to  
APRS-IS and then use an PERL script injecting only spesiffic packages  
to APRS-IS on a different public server.

I have a PERL script logging from APRSC to a database and this could  
probably easily be modified to an "SATGATE" script. But an APRX native  
function for "SATGATE" is probably less work and a more correct method.
