I'm just middle-manning this one -- astrisk was rejected by the guy setting up the repeater due to complexity and hardware required -- echolink due to requiring a true connection to the internet -- this has got to work completely within the private network already in existance between the sites, and it must be able to start up on boot and re-establish the connection in case of power failure, preferably as a windows service, though linux has not been rejected.
Someone tell me that echolink can be configured for LAN only, or that astersk can be setup for start on boot without using a special radio interface board, and we'll move forward along those lines :)
