[FADCA] Quick connect for TelPac

Hi All
    I would like to suggest that we set up a standard ssid at each FPAC 
switch to connect to the nearest TelPac node. To open the discussion I 
suggest we use -3. Thus, here in the West Palm area connecting to 
k4pkt-3 would connect you to the kd4lxb-2 TelPac node. In the Stuart 
area connecting to k1vao-3 could connect to a TelPac node in the Stuart 
area or, utilizing the network, could connect to kd4lxb-2 in the West 
palm area. And so on.. :-)
    Once we get this setup a traveling user would only need to watch the 
beacon from the local switch to get the switch call (assuming they don't 
already know it) and connect to callsign-3 to get the nearest TelPac 
node. Of course, one still needs to find the local lan frequency - no 
easy task since they were removed from the repeater directory. :-(

Present ssid use in South Fl.:
-0  co-located bbs, otherwise unused.
-1  Local bbs or as required locally.
-2  As required locally.
-3  Tampa Info Server (has been unavailable for over a year, network 
into Tampa out)
-4  As required locally.
-5  As required locally.
-6  As required locally.

Thoughts anyone??
