[arm-allstar] Adding a hub node to existing node

[KY220GROUP@GMAIL.COM]

Mike I'm running my hub #49799 at vultr.com. Works great for me for five bucks a month. I don't have to worry about firewalls and incoming connections to either of my repeaters. I set a cron job to auto-connect from each repeater node to the hub every 30 minutes in case of a problem, most connects are done on the hub for distribution to my 220 and 440 repeaters and soon my 2 meter repeater. Echolink is ran on the hub also with the call kk4wh-r. It works well for a hub at places where you use a cell connection or can only have an outbound connection. I also think that the RPi hub that Doug mentioned is an excellent idea.

 Mike,

 You could do it with a second node on that server but personally I like to
separate the HW especially as cheap as it is. In this case the cost of
another Pi and power supply. One would run your repeater and the other the
hub that could be connected to the repeater if desired. This also gives
better redundancy and is easier to maintain.
