This is bad news. Could you use an experimental node with Allstar? How would one setup tlb to interface Allstar to IRLP. Greg On 10/22/2010 07:41 PM, Peter Elke wrote:
Hmm,

I would think that connecting a single app_rpt node to IRLP would not violate their rules. There are a number of IRLP node emulators that just make sure that echolink in not currently in use before allowing IRLP.
Their rules disallow interconnections to foreign networks, it should not disallow connecting to a app_rpt system used only as a repeater controller with a few local radios (during the IRLP session).
The IRLP system is a bit too heavy for me, you need a controller, their card and a PC.
I recall they even set up a flag for "experimental nodes" in the IRLP database.

That is unfortunate. It also explains why. requests to him for a node number were ignored. Too many times the needs (wants) of the few (one) get in the way of progress.
I got on-board with the app_rpt project because it offered a way to give our users a way to access three different networks cheaply rather than duplicating hardware to achieve the same result. I won't be constructing a new system to fill the gap, that's for sure.
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. :)
