[OZAPRS] Igate

[Ray Wells]

Why do you say xastir is not the best way? If a a map display is not 
required I could be inclined to agree with you but otherwise I cannot. 
Xastir works just fine as an Igate, supporting multiple port and, it is 
actively supported. I'm curious to know why you tink the way you do.

On the RF port properties dialog there should be a box labelled "IGate Options" with 3 checkboxes.  Check the one that suits your intentions, either receive only ("Allow RF to Inet traffic ONLY") or ("Allow RF->Inet and Inet->RF traffic").  You will need to put a relevant path into the "Igate ->  RF Path" text box.
