There's no easy way to do this without making a mess of it. So I added
two new COP functions to app_rpt.c to disable incoming connections and
enable incoming connections. cop,49 disables Allstar, IRLP and Echolink
connections, and cop,50 enables them. You must have app_rpt.c version
0.188 or later for this to work. App_rpt.c version 0.188 will show up on
the public SVN server shortly.
