Now, maybe someone can build a secure-irlp or something for the asterisk config files and add hooks that if IRLP is active, then Echolink connectivity and JAVA/Phone/etc non radio access to IRLP is disconnected.

I believe if that was done, as I understand the positions of all involved, it would be acceptable and allowed back in via a channel driver.

We need someone to build the lock outs for the methods IRLP doesn’t allow when IRLP channel driver is active

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?

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.
