[arm-allstar] data usage on node w/ LTE hotspot

[Richard Bateman]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info; I'm not (currently) linking the repeater to anything,
but it's good to know that g.729 is available -- I didn't realize that.
I've disabled all of those things as well as the statspost stuff, so we'll
just have to see if that fixes the issue :-/

Thanks for all the info, I'll let you know what I find.

Richard
