[arm-allstar] Echolink command to turn off and on

[David McGough]

The echolink module doesn't have an explicit, on-demand enable/disable 
capability.  There are several different ways this could be accomplished, 
however.

If you're just wanting to disrupt all echolink connections, a simple,
foolproof method is to use some firewall rules. This will instantly stop
echolink.  Something like:

.....Disable (drop) all echolink VoIP/control packets:

iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 5198:5199 -j DROP
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 5198:5199 -j DROP


.....To re-enable echolink, just remove these rules:

iptables -D INPUT -p udp --dport 5198:5199 -j DROP
iptables -D OUTPUT -p udp --dport 5198:5199 -j DROP
