You might be interested in looking at my project called thelinkbox.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/cqinet/index.php?title=Linkbox-url ,

It started out as an VoIP linking package, but it grew into a
repeater/hub controller. Unlink Asterisk it supports most any audio
device supported by Linux as well as the CM108 based audio dongles
and URI. If you have a PC with audio and serial or parallel ports
you should be good to go.
Like Asterisk and IRLP thelinkbox runs on only runs on Linux.
