I've been trying to install Asterisk/AllStar on my existing X server. The purpose of this is to create a conference bridge, and eventually link it to an existing IRLP/Echolink conference. In time, I hope to run multiple conferences on the server and provide AllStar support for a few conferences. Anyway, I have one show stopping problem and some queries. The show stopper is ztdummy. When I attempt to load it, it causes a kernel panic. The "known issues" so far discovered date back to 2007. Anyone able to unearth any more on this issue? The queries are to do with how I link to the IRLP/Echolink reflector. chan_echolink would be the obvious choice, but to make this work, I would have to bind the Echolink ports to a single IP, so they don't conflict with Echolink on other IPs on the same system. Is this possible? chan_irlp would probably be more problematic, and again it would need to be bound to a specific IP. It would be nice to have some sort of "raw" Speak Freely, RTP or Echolink support, to allow "off grid" links, like I use with thebridge and thelinkbox. I suspect that would require a new channel driver. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
