Thanks, I'll take a look.  I'm no C programmer, but I have a good 
chance of identifying the calls.

OK, this I will need some more help/documentation on. :)  In any 
case, it looks like the cross system lockouts are possible, so we 
could make Asterisk compliant with IRLP guidelines, with a bit of work.

Well, thelinkbox still supports chan_rtpdir (v 0.5, I think), so 
hopefully Jim will consider working with Skip on updating chan_rtpdir 
support to the new "chan_tlb".  Needless to say, I'm putting my hand 
up to beta test it! :)  You've confirmed my suspicion that full 
protocol support is required for the IRLP and Echolink channel 
drivers to work, and that resurrecting chan_rtpdir is the way to go 
for point to point links between thelinkbox and app_rpt.

The rest is just hacking with the pieces provided, which I'm no 
stranger to. :)

Anyway, thanks for your help Steve, you've given me a lot to work 
with.  Hopefully Jim will pick up on this thread as well. :)
