[arm-allstar] Echolink Call status on LSNODEs page versus call indication on CLI client screen

[Tom Whiteside]

Thanks.   We mostly get local folks traveling outside our repeater range
coming in on Echolink but occasionally others.   I'll tell folks to not
sweat what they see on LSNODES for Echolink stations...

accurate. Strictly my opinion but I think we should >encourage users of
Echolink, IRLP, etc that connect to Allstar on a regular basis to come over
to our side as much as possible.

maybe because I don't advertise the echolink beyond it being on the Echolink
list so I don't often see this. That being side I >will try to look into why
that is not showing up.
