[Icom] Duplicate relections

Perhaps the duplicates, called SUSDUP's where I once worked,
are caused by the network architecture.  Some reflectors
and alias machines are placed in redundant pairs or greater.
These pairs update each other almost, but not quiet, real time.
This arrangement provides a capability for disaster recovery,
and makes access faster in some configurations.  Now, it
could be that the members of a pair are getting their protocol
mixed up, and you're getting replies from both, not just
from one.   For what it's worth.  (You might want to look
at the entire header of the duplicated messages and see if
there is a clue there.)        73  Clete
