[arm-allstar] newsline

[Darrell Black]

Hi Dave, I played with this when I set up our news server.

in file /etc/asterisk/local/playnews/playnews-0.11
Around line ~210 >INCREMENT=150 <==== 150 seconds is 2.5 minutes.

Warning if you increase the time, it like I did. The repeater timeout timer
and all the allstar hotspot linked timers need to be greater than your
slice time, or they will timeout. In the end I went back to 2.5 minutes.
