I am running the full application of the Linux mention system call Asterisk and have paid $6 for my usb sound fob to run a repeater and a 2 meter link. They are all running fine on the powerful asterisk application, which run Linux, I also have a echolink and IRLP running. If anyone would like a demo you can call me on my nodes by looking me up on both network to obtain a node number.
