About

AllStarLink, Inc. was formed as a Florida non-profit with the goal of continuing Jim Dixon's vision of enhancing communications between amateurs around the world and to educate ham operators about current radio, VoIP and computer related technologies.

We obtained that status on Dec 13, 2018 enabling all donations to be tax-deductible, and to show good stewardship of our supporters funds.

Our team is focused on improving on the codebase and updating asterisk and app_rpt. Over the next year we intend to move to a more recent version of asterisk, if not the current version. This will enable much needed updates for security and new network protocols. We are always looking for skilled coders (mostly C for app_rpt) who can devote time and help out. The main codebase is on GitHub AllStarLink Repository and patches are always encouraged.
