[App_rpt-users] Maxtrac as a remote base

[Monty Dana]

I would also like to see if we could make one of the I/Os go the ground when
the node is onlink?  I have been wanting to experiment with some controllers
on Allstar and would like some way to tell the controller to change the CT
to onlink.

Thanks,
Monty
