This is a good idea, but what begs the question is why should
we have to modify the usage of our systems just to support
that? Can't we just be responsible sysops instead and manage
it in accordance with their rules? <br>
<br>
Again, not saying this is a bad solution, but I can also see
resistance to it if in fact it was the only way at which point
I think a lot of folks including myself would question it
altogether. <br>

In general I left IRLP and for that matter EchoLink in the dust a
long time ago.<br>
One of the things that has been discussed is a generic channel
driver that would be able to take external IO and audio and pass
them in and out of ASL.<br>
The same basic concept we used for DMRGateway and the proposed
D-StarGateway. That way, ASL does not need to change, other then
moving EchoLink out of ASL.<br>
I can see the ABILITY to enable or disable functions of ASL when
such a channel driver is activated.<br>
<br>
Remember, ASL is Open Source and will ALWAYS remain so. Anyone is
welcome to build on what is in the GIT repository today or in the
future.<br>
Pull requests are welcome and encouraged. I strongly recommend
people get comfortable with GIT. <br>
