Steve, I have two Linux boxes, one of which is connected to the KPC9612.
I would like to run the software that decodes the APRS information on
that machine, then view it from another Linux box in a different
location on my LAN. Do I need to set up the server on the box with the
tnc and the viewer on the remote computer?
So it's not a beginner's exercise. I have friends here who can help,
right?
