As I understand it, you can set up an IRLP node with any radio set up, but 
it's put to the best use when it is integrated into a repeater set up.  I'm 
actually kind of curious about something that John said earlier about 
obtaining IRLP for one of his repeaters.  If you either have done so John, 
and I misread that message, or if you do end up setting one up, could you 
let the list know how well that worked for you?  The last time I checked, 
the IRLP software ran only on linux machines, which is plenty accessible, 
but as we all know, is a very different animal then windows.  I am not sure 
if IRLP runs on the windows based versions of linux, or the console 
versions.
