While I am not a fan of Baofang radios or buying from the Chinese you most certainly can modify one to work with IRLP or Allstar. I have talked to several on the air. You would use simpleusb and the following is an example of a mod on one model radio. Others would undoubtedly differ but you get the idea.

Baufongs most certainly do have a cor output. They have a busy light don’t they?  YES they do!
 
There are schematics on the internet for the Baofeng portable. You just have to dig for it.

I doubt you will find much help anywhere. Baofeng radios lack COR and discriminator output so they would not be suitable for use with allstar. The only portable I know of that works is the Kenwood F6 with it mic/speaker port set for packet mode. But the duty cycle required for allstar or any repeater/remote base is fairly high and portables are not suitable for long term use.

I am looking for a circuit diagram so I can fabricate a cable to connect a URIx to a Baofeng (or pair of Baofeng's) suitable for use with ACID/Allstar. Any assistance would be useful. I have not found anything on the web thus far...
