[App_rpt-users] Echolink Unauthorized

[Eric Tichansky]

The problem that keeps coming up is that while the updates are 
attempted, it often fails throwing complaints about zlib, et.al.  
Between what seems to be a long delay in acquiring the node list and 
frequent failures, I've found there are times when it may be more than 
30-45 minutes before the current IP becomes part of the locally cached 
listing.  This isn't so good when trying to connect to the system using 
an echolink client on a laptop while mobile, where mobile broadband 
connectivity may be in and out periodically.

Is anyone else seeing these same frequent echolink node list update 
failures?  We are running asterisk/app_rpt/chan_echolink/zaptel from the 
1.4.23-pre svn trunk over Gentoo Linux vs. ACID or limey linux.
