[App_rpt-users] Frequency Agile Remote - XCAT FUBAR

Robert / Everyone,
What ever came of the problem you were having with getting your Allstar
node to control your xcat? I'm planning on configuring mine here this week,
and I'm looking for any help or advice as to any "tricks" that I should
know. So far, it looks like all I need to do is define the remote base type
as "xcat" in the remote stanza, and specify the serial port as well (I'll
have two xcats, with a node for each).
Thanks and Happy New Year.
