Chris KA7CJH And if you ever actually cross-connect the two networks (ESPECIALLY any IRLP Reflector channel) without permission of the participating nodes and/or Reflectors, you can end up with some very cranky people on both sides. Most IRLP Reflector operators have policy to not allow system to system cross-links. Especially if they're not asked first, so they can monitor and use our built in tools to disconnect your node if something's not set up right. IRLP and EchoLink are not quite oil and water, we all get along, but there are some differences in network philosophies there that you can fire up some people's emotions about. There are also some VERY well-done digital ways to cross-connect the two networks that the Reflector and back-office admins have worked out through a lot of hard trial and error for things like the Hurricane Net, etc. If you have a legitimate reason to tie the networks together, talk to folks that have been doing it a long time and sell them on your idea first... they may already have all the bandwidth and software necessary to do that type of thing right. If you haven't figured out who to talk to -- you haven't been active enough in the community to start cross-linking things yet. Hang around the YahooGroups list and help out... and all that usual stuff. Basic rule of thumb... never EVER cross-link someone to another network without their knowledge, just like you wouldn't cross-band repeat someone else's repeater output to another band without ID's of your own and permission of the repeater owner. (Don't get me started about dual-band radios that have 10,000 bells and whistles but the manufacturer's can't seem to give hams a legal CW ID for, in cross-band repeat mode...) If all you wanted was both EchoLink and IRLP on your repeater... not cross-connecting them... ignore all of the above and join the EchoIRLP folks and their on-going beta test of unofficial software that seems to work pretty well, once installed.

I think the WB2REM G4CDY Ultimate Linking Interface (ULI) will do what you want. www.ilinkboards.com http://www.ilinkboards.com/indexuli1.html Hope this is what you are looking for.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] controller question
There is a version of Echolink (called EchoIRLP) that runs on Linux. Installed on an IRLP box, EchoIRLP utilizes the same hardware and a few of IRLP's scripts. I have both running on my node.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] controller question
Just use ANY 3 (or more) port repeater controller. Port 1 - repeater port 2 - IRLP port 3 - Echolink -- Original Message -- Received: Thu, 09 Feb 2006 09:21:16 PM CST From: Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] controller question Is there a repeater controller that I could use to tie an Echolink and IRLP together with?
