I created it originally to be a tutorial kinda page for those of us that had trouble installing allstar link back in the day.. Yeah i know its about 5 or 6 years old now and i haven't done much with it since my accident in October of 2014 and sorry about that.. Also Tim I am looking at digging a bit further into allmon will update things eventually but was looking at making it more mobile compliant that sort of thing and possibly locking it down with like an admin page using MySQL database or some thing.. Just haven't gotten around to having Mark to help me with some of that since i have forgotten just about all of it now.

HamVoIP took Asterisk/AllStar/app_rpt which has thousands of hours of development by countless people and closed it, ending the path to the next level of knowledge. Think about where we'd be if no one shared their knowledge. "We stand on the shoulders of giants" is the point I'm making. No one will be standing on HamVoIP's shoulders.

I was even kicked out after I publicly told them I would use there packet of supermon to port it to allstar link.

>>> There has been a ton of inaccurate statements by the HamVoIP principals in numerous posts, emails and telephone calls regarding what AllStarLink is up to. Before you read the rest of this email please take a look at the August 16 post over on hamVoIP.org.
>>>
>>> I really don't want to wade into this political BS. I should be coding not spending time on this BS. Even so I've spent tons of time behind the scenes attempting to get folks working together. I hesitate to speak publicly on this but my low key approach has not worked. So, some false statements must be publicly corrected. I will address only this particular post at this time.
>>>
>>> First, "The server" is not owned by one person. The very reason AllStarLink, Inc. was formed is to prevent that scenario.
>>>
>>> Second, there is not just one server. There are numerous servers around the country run by folks that donate their time, effort and money.
>>>
>>> Third, HamVoIP principals continually imply that AllStar was unofficially taken over. That's just not true. The reigns were turned as officially as possible given Jim's sudden death. Jim's long time friends and co-developers of AllStar contacted current and past AllStarLink board members and made arrangements for what you see today.
>>>
>>> Additionally, it's true that migration to the new servers didn't go perfectly. But it's extreme unfair to bash individuals who are only attempting to improve AllStar. Ham Radio is about learning if it's about anything. Making mistakes happens as part of the learning process. Now we have a better system and no one got shot as my Marine friend used to say.
>>>
>>> The August 16 HamVoIP statements are divisive and only serve to build up some individuals at the expense of others. To HamVoIP principals I say enough of that crap! If you want to build a better mouse trap you are welcome to that. Go for it. But don't justify yourself by speaking badly of others who have nothing but good intentions.
