PE> The thing is that squish remaps a message to "Rod Speed" to
PE> 3:711/934.2, whether the message was sent to 3:711/934, 3:711/934.1,
PE> 3:711/934.3, 3:711/934.4 etc etc, understand?

I cant see the problem, I dont give a damn if someone fucks up the
address so badly that the wrong point number is used. In fact thats
fine by me, no valid reason to send it to the wrong address, that may
be someone who doesnt bother to pick up his PKTs or something. Makes
heaps more sense to send them to me whatever address is used.
