Wayne, No reason not to use your preferred server over the Celeron. I would pay attention more to things like dual power supplies, mirrored RAM etc. The things that keep a server running day in and day out. I'm sure you don't want to explain to the boss as to why you need to fix "your" server. 73, Steve N4IRS On 4/2/2015 12:00 PM, app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 20:22:14 -0700 > From: "R.

As an ECOMM repeater system we will be able to selectively disconnect so that users may locally deal with their emergencies. Not a problem. Be we are wanting others to connect to our hub for nets or even chit-chat when the world is safe LOL. We are currently using a Dell 2.66GHz Celeron w/1GB of RAM. I was told that this is overkill. As Scooby would say, ?Haruh?? Since I work for a company that throws old PC servers out I have my choice of many AMD?s at 2GHz and up. But I have a favored server with dual AMD 275?s and 8GB of RAM. This is a FAST PC!!! What?s wrong with using it? Is a wimpy Celeron a better choice for a hub server? Should I just add RAM and a SSD drive? I?m OK with that but we really want others to link to us. My boss is letting me put the server in the data center so I have unlimited bandwidth. Our repeaters will all have RTCM?s. -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

OT: Any Allstar nodes at schools/universities?
by Corey Lardinois (KB9BNA) 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hi all, I am working with a local university radio club to add an Allstar node to their repeater. The university's IT department has asked if we can provide a reference contact at another school or university that is providing Internet connectivity for AllStar (or something similar). Any chance that somebody might be able to provide a contact that's been involved with this in a school/university setting or maybe know of a public example where the school/university is sponsoring the Internet access? Feel free to contact me off-list if preferred. Many thanks, Corey (KB9BNA)

*Please Reply* Are the O'l Digium FXS or FXO pci cards Supported?
by Steve Gladden 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Or will they work? I remember reading they worked on old versions of apt_rpt I also figure they may be a better option than USB but relatively rare/expensive. I was just given a bag of them and was wondering if they'd be useful on Acid and what's going on now. Thanks! Steve Gladden Michigan Broadband Systems Connecting Your Business!

Use of ntpd in ACID
by kk6ecm 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

I'm interested in using ntpd to keep my ACID server sync'd with date and time, and notice it is off, as configured from the CD. I set "chkconfig ntpd on, but wonder what servers I should use in ntp.conf. Also, has anyone used it and had any difficulties? thanks, Bob kk6ecm

Squelch Tail Elimination
by R. Wayne 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

After relocating our MSF 5000 to a new location and adjusting the squelch as low as we could reliably go we noticed that we have a squelch tail. Our coordination requires that we don’t. It appears that the MSF has a fixed squelch tail elimination method an no control other than cranking up the squelch again. This is surprising since we use PL encode / decode. I would think that the PL would mute as soon as the user unkeys. With this said is there anything in Allstar that would help with this situation? Wayne
