[App_rpt-users] Installing AllStarLink - Near to give up !

[Mike]

Rachid,

root password:
sudo passwd root   <OR> set it inside the asl-menu - read and follow the 
prompt carefully.

echolink:
the echolink system will not let you make more than one connect from the 
same ip address, no matter the callsign. So your test on your android 
may not be the best way to do it on wi-fi and you may have other issues 
from your cell network and/or proxy.
Ask a friend to test it from outside your NAT.

pi3:
You didn't ask anything specific to answer.
