Heh, time sneaks up on a person.

Google revealed a couple of interesting links:

http://www.zapatatelephony.org/app_rpt.html
http://svxlink.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/repeater/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oarrs/ (I think this is the same as
the one above)

There are plenty more, most having to do with IRLP and additions to the
basic IRLP system it would seem.  There seem to be endless
possibilities with a cheap low power VIA motherboard and some other
hardware like the telephony boards the first link was using.

HTH,

73, de Nate >>
