[MNAPRS] W0YC APRS Software Upgraded

[Ben Franske]

I'm done fighting with JavAPRSSrvr. Last night we upgraded the W0YC APRS 
system to much better and easier to configure software running on newer 
hardware and Linux as well. For those who don't know W0YC runs a wide 
coverage APRS Digipeater/Igate/APRS-IS server. We are now running:

APRSC - APRS-IS server. You can view statistics at 
http://w0yc.umn.edu:14501 You should also be able to connect to 
w0yc.umn.edu with your favorite APRS or Igate software and take 
advantage of our plentiful bandwidth to reduce the load on the core servers.

APRX - Digi/Igate software. Supports viscous digipeating for fill digis 
and all that. If you're running something else you should seriously take 
a look at this.

We also swapped our our dying TNC2 clone for a KPC-3 so we should be in 
good shape. We're also now broadcasting some of our repeater information 
on APRS, I think I got the format right for that.

D-PRS -> APRS-IS should be up and running on the W0YC D-STAR system 
443.425/+ (ircDDB network) now as well.

Please let me know if you see any strange activity as we work the kinks 
out of the new system.
