[Dstar] VK3RMM D-Star repeater

[James Cameron]

I agree with Adrian.

As the guy who did the early "Get this stuff working on Linux" for
Maxon, I can say RHEL 5 or CentOS 5 are way too old for easy
configuration.

It *can* be done with judicious fiddling, and my web page that describes
the basics is still up: http://quozl.linux.org.au/bp3-usb/

Patching should not be required ... it should just work using an insmod
of usbserial with appropriate vendor and product codes.

At worst one might mix the Fedora 11 kernel with the CentOS 5 user-space
system.  Depends on how brave you feel.

Yes, I've one of those.  USB on one side, ethernet on the other.

Telstra also sell one that has 3G RF on one side and ethernet and IEEE
802.11g on the other.
