[arm-allstar] node callsign script

[Patrick Perdue]

Look for a line in your /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf under your node's stanza 
starting with "connpgm=" and see if he did anything interesting there. 
The functcomplete will only work with telemdefault=1 or telemdefault=2, 
so you can only have that work with other telemetry going on with it. 
However, the localplay and playback commands will still work even if 
telemdefault is set to 0, so I'm sure that if something is defined in 
those two sections to play a sound or tone sequence, it should still 
work regardless of the telemetry setting. No, I don't know how to access 
the Asterisk tone generator from there, or even if it's possible, so I 
could be entirely off-base.
