[arm-allstar] "Call CQ" Feature for AllStar

[David McGough]

Patrick,

The approach you're describing is basically similar to what happens now 
with all the echolink "drive-by" connections, which are SO ANNOYING.  This 
isn't the right way to try and proceed, IMO.  This will likely end up with 
AllStar node being blocked, like now happens with echolink, which is 
undesirable.

make sure any node you attempt to connect to has it's IAX port 
forward-facing.

IRLP also has a feature like this, IIRC.
