Direwolf is incredibly useful, quoth the `pkg-descr`:

Direwolf can be used stand-alone to observe APRS traffic, as a digipeater,
APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate). It can also be used as a virtual
TNC for other applications such as APRSIS32, UI-View32, Xastir, APRS-TW,
YAAC, UISS, Linux AX25, SARTrack, RMS Express, BPQ32, Outpost PM and 
many others.

It can interface with other applications by way of AGW network or
KISS/serial network.

Looked over with: portlint -aACN
Test build with: poudriere testport
Comment 1 Kyle Evans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-03-21 00:07:46 UTC 
For functionality testing, I setup my rtl-sdr on my laptop listening for APRS data on 144.39MHz. I piped the output of rtl_fm into direwolf, and setup direwolf as an APRS IGate connected to noam.aprs2.net.

My test was at least mostly successful. Unfortunately, APRS is very quiet in my area and I don't have any gear to transmit APRS beacons at the moment.

However, I was at least able to verify that it's not doing anything particularly stupid. It was able to get a good connection to a gate in noam.aprs2.net with my callsign and passcode, and it was indeed not trying to send along anything that it did not actually decode as verified from the webserver running on the remote gate.

I hope to acquire some equipment to transmit APRS beacons soon.

Excellent. I'll commit today.
