Jay,
I'm afraid that ship has sailed. You CANNOT depend on the packet
having a source address of 44.x.x.x to allow it to key up a transmitter;
there are many origins for packets on the network, and quite a few that
have 44.x.x.x source addresses were never originated or touched by
a licensed amateur radio operator. Or, for that matter, by a human
at all.

We see more and more of this "bluring" of the edges of the network that
many of us depend upon to NOT allow non-Hams onto. Why use 44Net
addresses for non-radio links or services?????
