Greetings, With an Asterisk based system, such as AllStarLink, I know there are many ways to connect, as in the subject. My question is how can I control how connections are made (or allowed) at any given time? By this, I mean, if I am connecting for a one to one qso with a specific node, I don't necessarily want other nodes connecting to me, whether AllStar or EchoLink, or I might want to limit the number of connections that could be made in many to one mode to me. Is this kind of limiting currently possible? Also, if I am making certain kinds of connections, such as if I also had IRLP configured, I would not want to allow any other connections to my node regardless of what type or from what network. Yes, I know this sort of dances around one particuIar issue that exists between two networks, but I am NOT trying to go there. I am just asking about controls I think would be good to have available when required or desired. Such controls would have to be dynamic (perhaps controlled by a DTMF sequence), but could also be left in place to create a policy for a given node, if desired. 8-Dale -- I can handle complexity. It's the simple things that confound me. Open your mind, Read, Learn, Think, Apply. 73, from N7PKT! http://www.hybotics.com - NEW main site http://www.hybotics.info - Blog
