Sorry I can't quote your message, or set my line length properly, I'm using Lotus Notes at work here.
The idea of using a dummy NET/ROM callsign is so obvious, but so good and at least in my eyes
doesn't appear as a kudge. Its just the same conceptually as when you had a BPQ system which
had both a node and a BBS, the BBS never appeared as a NET/ROM interlink callsign, but in
effect was hidden behind the node with a suitably high quality.
Still its got me thinking about modifying ax25d to allow for a wildcard on the SSID, like:
[G4KLX-$ VIA 144]
or similar, with the $ indicating a wildcard. The * has already been used for something else and it would
make parsing a little easier. It would save some finger work at least.
