I can count on one hand the times I have used it in four years and then only to play. It never worked that well anyway. Its like Echolink, it uses the computer mic and speakers and its quality is only as good as those are which often is not very good. Most everyone now has a smart phone. From it you can ssh into your node and use iaxrpt, echolink, or other sip application for voice. You could also build a "radioless" portable node that uses your phone as a hotspot or add a radio for extended range.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">If a user wants to try out Allstar or connect to an Allstar node to talk to a buddy they could use Echolink by connecting to the many nodes that support it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">My vote for what it counts would be to take it off <a href="http://allstarlink.org" target="_blank">allstarlink.org</a> altogether.

Even where it can still be used (e.g. Safari), the process to enable it is convoluted and a challenge for many users. Is there any project underway to develop either a standalone app or a modern browser based application in HTML5 or JavaScript that will replace this very useful capability. Lack of an authenticated client for general hams to use to access Allstar nodes is probably the major impediment to much stronger adoption of Allstar. With the uniformly poor audio quality of Echolink being promulgated by its ease of use, we really need an authenticated access method for Allstar that is as easy to use as the Echolink clients.<div><br></div><div>I am willing to help if there is a path forward here.
