[aprssig] how to configure satgate?

[Phillip B. Pacier]

You don't have to connect to a particular server, but if you do not need 
your SatGate to receive ANY data from the internet (i.e. if you already 
have another APRS station online), you can connect to 
socal.aprs2.net:10150 - this port was setup specifically for SatGate 
stations.  It will gate all of your RF data to the internet, but it will 
send you NOTHING on the internet, except messages directed to that exact 
callsign.
