The version is 0.68 - I double checked the time as sent by my system...  and
it is right on...  I plan to get the ntp client going to make it more
accurate!  I am sending the app_rpt (both original and Modified) so that you
may look at it!

I understand what you are doing with both files...  I am still a little
confused about the "context" stuff!  I guess the user name in the iax device
or pgm would have to be "control" with the password gutentag, right? Well, I
will play with it! Thanks for the pointer!

I have a NODE number assigned already....  My node number is 2057 do you
need my password??  I will get the dynamic dns set-up when I get this thing
finalized and ready for permanent installation!  I still need to get my
allowance saved up for the ARIB boards!

Also... how would you handle setting up a fxo for an outgoing call from the
repeater?  And I was thinking of using FWD Free World Dialup as a source for
incoming and outgoing (Using iax of course!)
