Also a HUGE mungus thank you for adding the Parallel Port stuff!!! It's nice to have the option to use PTT/COR from that versus having to do the SMT soldering job (even though I've got pretty good at it) ;-) And I'm very big on using remote control of things at the site and remote monitoring of stuff via the input pins. Thank You! Thank You Thank You!!! :-) I might play with serial port pin manipulation just to give myself a fun simple project. I really feel a desire to dive into the code and play. Steve
Chan_simpleusb *DOES* support DTMF. All channel drivers do. Supporting it has nothing to do with the channel driver.
Zaptel and app_rpt WONT RUN ON MOST LOW-END ARCHITECTURES. Especially the Blackfin and the MIPS. It wont work in a Linsys router.
Also, Jon, remember that a load average of 1.2 on a dual-core system is only 60% of the CPU, *NOT* 120%.
Im suprised that it was that loaded with 4 devices. It really shoudnt be.

So does this mean you can run App_rpt & Asterisk on the WRT 54GL????
Dont get me wrong, It would be great to run App_Rpt on the 54 GL. I have a number of them.
But how would you do a radio interface? I dont see any USB ports on any of my 54GLs.
I'm playing around with the Intel D510 MB with a 32 G SSD and have 3 Allstar nodes running on the board with URIs in full duplex with DSP Squelch and PL.
I had 4 on there and it seemed ok but the load ave hit 1.2! so I took out one node and now seems ok with the 3.
Perhaps using chan_simpleUSB might clear that up.
Nice low power package but cost a few bucks~($325 CDN) but solid package and yes there is a fan in the enclosure so heat doesnt seem to be a problem.
But I would like to know about what you had in mind on the 54GL.

Also Jim, THANK YOU! for creating this interface type.. There are many cases where I'd prefer NOT to do DSP on the PC /Board puter.
Especially when using older/smaller stuff.
Such as a WRT54GL

chan_simpleusb is basically a 'gutted' version of chan_usbradio. It has no DSP functionality whatsoever. It is designed for radios that provide COR and/or CTCSS detection signals, and will run FAR more efficiently allowing for use on MUCH slower CPUs.

I'm curious about chan_simpleusb. Can it be used on a slower PC to improve performance?
I'm running 2 CM108 fobs here on a P3/866 MHz with 512MB ram. This was my old EchoIRLP node PC, and it seems to work ok for Allstar, but I realize that it's below the recommended CPU speed for a USB fob node.
My node radios have PL encode/decode in hardware, etc, so would I lose any functionality by switching to chan_simpleusb?
Thanks.73
Kyle K0KN --- Original Message ---Yes, it works quite beautifuly with the URI, in fact it will support 2 of them *BUT* only with chan_simpleusb. The CPU does not have the horsepower to do the DSP routines used in chan_usbradio.
Why dont you wait for the LOX board to become available in production? It wont be long.
