Dean,

If you run into issues with ports being blocked I have several ideas for working around the issue, with either an IPSec or SSH tunnel through a device with a less restricted internet connection. 

Can you send me some info on the cellular internet gateway device you already have?

>>> You guys plan to present in April for the Monongalia Wireless Association program!  It would be great to re-ignite interest in APRS in this area!  At one time, WF8X (Jack Coster) had a weather station on top of Percival Hall that spit out weather data.  I would love to see us get a station up at the repeater site, too.  With 52% of our regular attendees having System Fusion rigs of one form or the other, many of them have APRS capability built-in.  I have a couple older 2 meter rigs I'd like to put into service again somehow.  I am saving up for a FT2D handheld so I can use the portable APRS feature for our marathons, walks and bike races in the area when we do support comms.  I have never done APRS but want to learn.  The nuts and bolts of APRS, some use-cases (including balloon chases and search / rescue) and ease of entry to a reasonably priced solution would be an excellent program for the club!  Would love to hang the info off the MWA website, as well!  Git 'er done!
