Actually, it could be done on an existing IRLP node in theory.  A bit 
of a kludge, but EchoIRLP interfaces thebridge to existing IRLP 
software, and so I'm sure Asterisk could be interfaced to the IRLP 
software in a similar fashion.  Not the nicest way to do things, but 
theoretically possible, and would be IRLP compliant.  The AllStar 
side wouldn't need any hardware, since it would be using the 
radio/interface that IRLP uses.

EchoIRLP, even though it's a bunch of shell scripts is GPL, so feel 
free to play. :)
