Very Cool, That was exactly what I was looking for. One more question. Can I have a central "HUB" node (it would be in a 24/7 data center) that has no radios so all the inbound servers can proxy in? The idea would be that all of the tactical nodes would make one outbound connection to the "HUB" and would never need to know the node numbers of the other location currently connected. I am assuming this is a common practice, just a quick confirmation. Thanks, and I can't wait to get it running.

Hi All,
This may be an obvious and I am just not "getting it" but here it goes.
We are setting up an 440 & 902Mhz Emergency communications system with a repeater node in a suite case sized Pelican box. In the box is 902/927Mhz Repeater, 12volt Linux PC, WiFi Card + FOB.
The idea is that we could set this up (as an example) at a hotel near a wildfire command post. The local operator would make an always on outbound connection to a node used as an "inbound hub" via the hotel "guest wifi" or Ethernet.
My question is can a node create an outbound connection without any major firewall modifications? If not my other option will be to have linux create a SSL VPN connection to somewhere "outside" and VoIP UDP openly from there.
Any thoughts on this? Other ideas?
