As a newbie who has barely scratched the surface of understanding Allstar, I find it next to impossible to trace every last node that is connected together. I know there is the graphical node link list, and while it shows what the possibilities are I find it too unwieldy for practical, regular use. For example, I view Lu's node status web page and it might show 5 nodes connected. I click on each one of those only to find a couple other connections on each one. There must be an automated way to determine the sum total of all nodes that happen to be connected together to form a network at that instant. I just don't know what it is, if it even exists now. Being able to aggregate this information seems like the first step in developing a watchdog that prevents ring-around-the-rosy loops. That's my 0.000002 cents worth.

I had an incident that occurred several nights ago where one user unbenounced to him cross connected the WINSYSTEM and VOIPWX net together in the middle of the night. No matter how many times I try to explain this caution to users, they still on occasion make the error as one of the distant node might be connected to another network and it is not readily visible to the user of another node. I would like to know if there are any provisions to help prevent this from happening.
Is it possible to have the Echolink "CONF" flag set when connected to Echolink and some other system, or more than one Echolink node at the same time? This will at least allow Echolink conferences with anti-conferencing measures to disconnect such accidental cross links automatically. The best behaviour would be to emulate the behaviour of the Windows Echolink client in this respect.
