[arm-allstar] Non RaspberryPi Version

[W4EDP - Emmett Perdue]

Thanks for the answer.

There are many reasons why someone might want to or prefer to do it on other than a Pi.  I run machines in the cloud where I already have other software running.  I run DVSwitch, Analog_Bridge and md380_emu and bridge to Allstar on one of those.  I can’t put a Pi there, I do not want it at my house and I do not want to pay yet another lease fee for a Pi when I already have machines in the cloud that are more than capable of running HAMVoip.

I appreciate your position and all your work.
