[aprssig] findu.com and ui_view cgi suggestion

[Andrew Rich]

Steve,

I know you do not allow direct access to your database. Thats fair enough.

Can I make this suggestion.

1) Make a CGI where you can specify and IP address, port, and filter.
2) The CGI extracts the data you want, and replays to the IP address and
port you want (UI-VIEW etc)
3) This would get around the direct connection problem.
