Hi Mark I've been involved with IRLP for about 5 years and am one of the original install team. I've gone through the emmotions of allowing "other" networks connect to IRLP and I know its caused some lots of headache.
As far as a closed network goes, yes there is LOTS of passion to keep it HAM only and I'd have to support that notion. As far as "non-radio" users go, thats another issue. In the early days, I was WHOLLY against echo-irlp and it allowing headset users on the network. IRLP was designed to keep the RF in Amateur Radio..... HOWEVER I see the benefits now and have certainly changed my views. IRLP **SHOULD** remain the domain of Amateurs **HOWEVER** asterisk has very cool functionality that could be used in IRLP... I run IRLP node 6000 and reflector 9500 and of course my own asterisk PBX and am now what I would consider a VOIP hobbyist...... Asterisk has given me renewed interest 73's Pete..vk2yx -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Mark Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 17:43:36 -0500 Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] FRS / FRS/GMRS 2-way radios as SIP clients > I got into SERIOUS trouble with the IRLP folks for trying to do > this.
