I've added a new tool that I'd like you to test. This web application should provide the registration code required by APRS software suites. In order to use it, you must browse to:
http://kb3vwg-010.ampr.org/tools/aprscode or http://44.60.44.10/tools/aprscode
If you're on AMPRNet, you should be able to enter the callsign and look up the registration code. If you access it from outside of AMPRNet, you will be prompted for an access code (1234).
Regardless the merits and issues of the APRS infrastructure and authentication schemes; KUDOS!! to KB3VWG for providing a 'SERVICE' on the 44 net with managed access for the rest of the Internet. This is exactly what we need much more of..

PS. Double KUDOS if the actual server is being accessed on Ham RF and not just a network tunnel.
