[aprssig] APRS-IS: frames bypassing server filter

[Lynn W Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

As Pete suggested, don't use an IGate-capable port on your upstream 
APRS-IS server.  If you connect to firenet.us's port 14580, for 
instance, all packets delivered there will be forwarded to the main 
APRS-IS, but since this port is not IGate-enabled, you will get no 
messages and no other IGate-triggered traffic from that port.

Or you need to use software that supports a "send-only" port via UDP or 
HTTP.

PS.  You should still be able to get the ISS object via the firenet 
connection with the filter you are using now.
