[arm-allstar] Bridging Allstar to an Echolink Proxy-enabled node

[Mike Sullivan]

I swore I sent it before.. but I have been buried in work the past few
weeks so short term memory is non existent for me.

We have a 12/1 cable connection at our tower, not super fast but way more
than we need for effective ASL/EL use. After a couple times, you can
connect to the node, but we never had an issue when using an RF based
Windows setup through a proxy.. I even have problems and I have a home
based proxy server I’ve used client side since we first started Echolink.
Doesn’t change with home wi-fi, cellular, etc.

I’m all for that idea.. but I have a feeling the same issue will exist
using that method as well. It comes with the PITA of Echolink being peer to
peer, I’m sure. I would love to know why Echolink Proxy is not easily
doable.
