[arm-allstar] Duplex function not working correctly?

[Doug Crompton]

I know this is not the answer you want to hear but you do know that Allstar
in itself is a repeater controller and you could replace the expensive
controller you are fighting with, with a PI and FOB per port linked through
an Ethernet switch. Total cost about $80/port plus the Ethernet switch.
Selling the controller would more than pay for the conversion. Advantage is
you have redundancy per port and infinite expandability. Something to think
about. Maybe in he future.
