Yes, I was wondering about that. I made that change, although I have not
restarted the system yet.
This interesting version was probably downloaded from Doug's web site on
9/12 or 9/13. I wonder how many other copies there are?
This one (I am pretty sure) is the image from the XZ file rather than the
exe file.

Ken,
BTW, that asterisk.conf file will cause asterisk to fail once another code
update comes out, since it includes an absolute path to the modules
directory. The absolute path changes with each update I release. However, I
also also include a symbolic link with each update that maps the absolute
path to the relative path. So, change this line:
astmoddir => /usr/local/hamvoip-asterisk-2020-06-01/lib/asterisk/modules
To this line:
astmoddir => /usr/local/hamvoip-asterisk/lib/asterisk/modules
...And, that will take advantage of the symbolic link.
