[FADCA] AMPR Net - IP addresses

[Jerry DeLong]

Hi, Doug

When Bob Anderson took the Amprnet coordination position 95% of the
assigned 44-net address for the state of Florida were un-routable.
So we started from scratch any previous assign 44-net address are no
longer valid and will need to be reassigned. 

Bob has change the Amprnet coordination to structure our current directs.
I don't know all the details but I think he did the right thing. We now
can rebuild the Florida segment of the 44-net and make sure address are
routed correctly.

I believe that Arcadia is in the 44.98.25.x segment a long with Port
Charlotte, Englewood, Venice, Sarasota.

Currently there are two Gateways in that area with RF links. W4AC
(44.98.25.7) in Venice and KA1ZFO (44.98.25.5) in Englewood both 
routable to the 44-net both with SMTP support.

It is possible to reassign a address to your MSYS and route it via W4MIN and
have SMTP support once again. Can't you just see Wyatt smiling right now. :)

Let me know if this is something you would like to do and I would be glad to
help...
