HI All, is there a function in APP_Rpt that can be used to disable any DTMF from being decoded from the RF side but still work from the console? Today there was an individual trying to linkup _*all*_ the Allstar nodes to a particular node. It might be useful to use this feature to lock down a node to prevent his happening in the future if such an attack of the twitchy fingers happens again. Thanks, Jon VA3RQ

<-- Hi Jon and all; If we can lockdown the entire system, so perhaps a macro that gets sent to all nodes to activate lock down, so that the integrity of the connected nodes is preserved - but other nodes attempting to connect get a busy message.... until the lockdown is removed. I recall reading something about this during the early chan_irlp discussions... but that was to busy-out a single node; if someone can remind us of that, we can look at pushing this out via a macro to all connected nodes...

There is certainly no question that something needs to be done about this. We will be considering some different options in the next few days, but I have a good idea of overall what we can do, but need to refine it greatly at this point. It needs to something well thought out that will fit different requirements, not just this particular case. I was thinking of something kind of like the "Gong Show", except without Gene Gene the Dancing Machine and the Unknown Comic, and Rip Taylor and his confetti. Okay, maybe a little confetti. It never hurts. :-) JIM WB6NIL ----------------------------------------
