[arm-allstar] Echolink Sometimes Not Loading

[David McGough]

Yes, same here--the echolink portal box very rarely gets rebooted, so 
whatever happens with echolink hasn't been high on the list. This box does 
get a fair amount of use, frequently several echolink connections a day, 
some for several hours.
