Thanks Ed.  That's what I was thinking might be the way to go.
Researching putting up a repeater for a group I work with for
emergency and disaster comms via ham radio and am advocating putting
an irlp node on if we go that route.

WAs on the speakup list for awhile a few years ago but then my linux
