[arm-allstar] connection Fails - New User

[Tom Robson]

Thx Doug,
Ran through all the steps and everything was as you said.
I think the problem was I was trying to connect to nodes which were off line or
something. VE7PKE at node 29188 is one which is not responding for some reason or
other.

Thx again.

Tom
