KR4AIK has a full up Linux server to make it a gateway.
Any Linux software "toolkit" for this?

Short answer - No. Slightly longer answer. A typical D-STAR repeater installation also includes a gateway. The gateway is a full up Linux server. With that server you can put any monitoring capabilities you want at the site (we are looking at putting web cam on a repeater site here as it is at a remote mountain top) and have it travel through the Internet to whatever location you desire. So if you are looking purely at an Icom D-STAR repeater and controller, with no gateway, it is not available (though someone could probably figure out a way - I have a couple of ideas in that area), but if you have the gateway, its pretty easy to create all manner of monitoring and control.

I know many analog repeaters can. I looked at a ICOM DSTAR repeater rack for about 5 min. And did not see many external connections for such. Is there a way to report internal temps remotely?
