*shrug* works on unix, exactly as-is. I used it for a few days under
Mac OS X to test some hardware I was developing.

My guess is the problem is related to long sleep()s or running it under
windows (which you are doing, IIRC, and I never have). If you are
sleep()ing for several minutes and your network connection yo-yos in the
mean time your socket may die. If the time between packets is more than
tens of seconds and the network connection is less than 100% reliable I'd
open a socket, send the packet, and close the socket, _then_ sleep().
If there are actual bugs I'd appreciate hearing about them, as I've
distributed that code a bit and haven't heard of any yet.

Subject: [aprssig] SSID for RF only Station with backup power
I'm very close to bringing on line a full time RF only APRS station with
indefinite backup power. It's my belief that a station like this is
getting back to the core essence of what APRS (and Amateur Radio) is all
about. As such, I think it would be valuable to differentiate these
stations either with a unique SSID or map symbol .... or both.
Suggestions or thoughts?
