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,
Me too. But separate IRLP (Dave Cameron's project) from IRLP (the concept). There's nothing preventing someone from using the idea for a non-ham network, in fact there are several already (eQSO for PMR446, the European equivalent of FRS). And Jim Dixon has made a parallel effort "AllStar" using Asterisk. I'm sure there are more. Once again, go look at the app_rpt documentation at http://www.zapatatelephony.org/app_rpt.html and look at the app_rpt right their in your Asterisk distro.
DingoTel is the same sort of thing but with a voice recognition front end and voice activated transmit/receive switching VOX. I haven't had much luck in applications where one end of the conversation is someone who isn't experienced with VOX.
