[arm-allstar] hamvoip as a repeater controller

[David Bufkin]

Doug,
This may be in left field but it’s sort of on topic with this. I have a few allstar nodes and am very pleased with the controll capabilities. I’m also a fan of synthesized voices like the older controllers have such as acc,cat, and I’m sure some others. Is there any way to get the synthesized voice library on a pi?
