[arm-allstar] node callsign script

[Jed Barton]

So, in my case, my clear node does this, and it's awesome.  When i
connect to any node, it just does a quick double beep to let you know
it's connected.  Then it does another set of beeps when it is
disconnected.  This is exactly what i'm looking to do, but not exactly
sure how he did it.
It's perfect cause you atleast have some indication that you made a
connection, instead of Alison spilling her guts all over your repeater
system, and spelling everything out.
Any thoughts?
