[aprssig] D700A TNC Problems????

[Ken H>]

It just clicked, If I put W4IAX-7,WIDE2-2 in my path, would it then FORCE
W4IAX to be the first digi?  All others would ignore the packet until
W4IAX-7 did the first digi?  Then IF I made it to findu.com I could be sure
that W4IAX-7 had received my packet...

Is that correct?
