[arm-allstar] Echolink Time Out ?

[LaRoy McCann]

One thing I have noticed is that if I loose my Internet connection then 
my node does not show up on the echolink servers anymore.
The echolink servers will not list my node until I restart Asterisk.

It will do this even when there is not a connection to a specific 
echolink node.  Also, if my Internet connection is not available at the 
time the Allstar node boots, then it will not show up in the echolink 
servers.

I have not taken the time to do much trouble shooting, but it acts like 
the Allstar echolink code is written such that it expects to be able to 
connect to an echolink server on the start-up process and if it is not, 
it does not try to reconnect.  The same seems true once Allstar is 
running, if it looses Internet connection it does not try to reconnect 
to the echolink servers.
