Is Xippr still in business??

I got the software installed and running in a VM, and have access to the web admin interfaces on it. I don't have an audio interface running on it. Xippr is quite curious. A huge huge amount of work has gone into it, and many parts are quite polished. I must say, the install was a nightmare, mainly because the docs are a little strewn about the place - but it's all there. I want voting, ALSA audio with DSP, and alternate I/O (not hacked fob I/O) Why? 1.) 25 watts into a duplexer with a half wave dipole is a shit repeater. Even 250 watts into 6dBi is still a small-penis ham radio station if you ask me. I don't want to build a repeater like that. 2.) Outboard voting receivers with preamps and directional antennas, and no duplexer to get in the way suits me fine. 3.) Kilowatt-plus transmitters with no duplexing into big gain suits me fine. Steve
