[aprssig] APRS-IS: frames bypassing server filter

[Pete Loveall AE5PL Lists]

Stephen, I gave you 3 methods to do not receive packets from APRS-IS for gated stations today: use UDP or HTTP send-only ports, or use port 14580 on the Firenet servers.  Since you "have to" receive a packet to a rx-only IGate (satellite object), #3 is your solution.

In all cases, we will know if your IGate is messaging to RF and other IGates will know your station has APRS-IS connectivity (so therefore will not gate to RF messages for your client).

But this still doesn't solve the problem of the original poster, which was to 
stop APRS-IS-to-IGATE traffic.   Even if he chooses to not transmit this data 
back to RF, it's still burning up his limited cellular data quota getting from the APRS-IS to his shack.

Is there ANY way to do this?
