[App_rpt] USB Radio for MAC??

[Stephen Rodgers]

Josh,


Zap pseudo channels and conferences are indeed used in app_rpt:

>                         ast_hangup(myrpt->txchannel);

App_rpt uses zaptel conferences and pseudo channels which rely on
ztdummy as a timing source. The whole app_rpt application would have to
be rewritten to not use zaptel conferences, and new kernel driver
outside of zaptel would be required to time the transmfer of the bytes
within the conference.
