[arm-allstar] Fail over upon loss of internet

I’ve been asked to change our club repeater that has a noisy RF link to Allstar as internet is available at our far end tower site. 

But, a fail over auto option upon loss of internet is desired. 

Can I set up the Pi to send a DTMF command if the internet is lost for more then 30 mins? 

Then the reverse - when internet is restored for 30 mins, the Pi sends dtmf to tell the controller to switch back to the Allstar feed.

Since we are using the *73xxxx I know there is some issues with auto retry confusing the LED that Doug helped me
With. Generally it works great though. 

Can this be done reliable? 

Thank you,
