[arm-allstar] Yellow Box & Iphone

[Ron Gilson]

Yes gives cwid then a very short ptt about 3 seconds latter.  I always get
the same ip from the phone and once that happens it will stay even if I
walk out of range of the Hotspot and return an hour later?  Interesting YB
works great once it gets an ip?  Can I add several hotspots? some with
passwords some without?  local fast foods, malls etc.  Thanks again.
