[arm-allstar] Supermon update 6.3

Mon Jun 22 23:56:31 EDT 2020

Bryan,

 I am not showing that here. Remember Supermon only shows direct links. Use
the client - rpt showvars and look at ALINKS. This is the direct ones.

   RPT_NUMALINKS=24   <>    24 nodes connected.

*Mine match here for all my hubs.*
