<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the suggestions, David. I'm getting close to my 20 Gig data cap on my hotspot, so node 2186 is only on when I'm working on it. Until I get the RF side finished, the audio quality is so bad that it's not even usable. NOT a problem with the BBB, but rather with my MacBook Pro not liking the iax client under Wine. My other nodes will be off for a while longer as well. Once I get 2186 working properly from the hotspot, I'll start to get them back online at some friends' QTHs. I really miss having access to unlimited data... it's one of downsides to full-time RVing. A new month is nearly here and with it, another 20 Gigs...<div>

Hi John,<br>
<br>
Congrats on getting on-line! I'm not sure what node(s) you've got enabled,<br>
I just looked and didn't see any that seemed active?<br>
<br>
As for running AllStar virtualized, I've had success with VirtualBox<br>
(free) on Linux (Wheezy on a BIG box) and Win7 (laptop) hosts. I don't<br>
know about a MAC. I wouldn't recommend starting from the old CentOS5 ACID<br>
install, however, due to the very old kernel.<br>
<br>
73, David KB4FXC<br>
