Sean,
The history of the AllStar voter is that the RTCM firmware and channel
driver were written prior to the existence of arm-allstar (aka HamVoIP). I
was building a voting repeater system with a JPS SNV-12 feeding AllStar.
This prompted the the app_rpt developer, WB6NIL to envision and create the
AllStar voter.  I'm proud to have been a small part of the inspiration for,
and development of the system. Thankfully it is all open source so you can
enjoy it on your favorite AllStar distribution.
