> Greetings fellow Allstar link members,

> As many of you might NOT know, the creator of app_rpt and the allstarlink

> He has never charged users money to be a part of the allstarlink network, 
> nor has he ever made any profit off of specific hardware
> sales for the allstarlink network.
> Through the years he has put in a great deal of time and dedication along 
> with his exceptional talents to make app_rpt and the
> allstarlink network the great VOIP technology that it has become today. 
> No other VOIP technology in the amateur radio community

> These costs are for server collocation, domain certifications and so on,
