Just in the process of setting up an Asterisk node (AllStar 2199). At this time, the node has no local RF hardware (I am seriously considering adding a Kenwood remote base early next year), but I want to have a link to a remote system using chan_rtpdir, which will link to an established system. I have some sample configs, and the N9YTY notes, but those notes assume a local RF link. What I want to do is accept connections to AllStar node 2199 and have those linked to the rtpDir system. And from the other end, I want to be able to connect to other AllStar nodes. Anyone able to offer insight on this configuration? My current Asterisk installation is a hand compiled system (app_rpt is included). I didn't use EVB or ACID, because Asterisk is installed on an existing IRLP node, and I didn't want to wipe the system (for obvious reasons!). I may also look into configuring the system to link to the local IRLP node on demand, once I've got the hang of driving Asterisk. I played with Asterisk a long time ago and was able to set it up as a reasonable PBX with VoIP and a single analog line, but I'm a bit rusty now and I've never used app_rpt before. 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com
