Ah yes, that list reminded me of something that does not seem to be on the
list. "IRLP" is a tool that has gotten very popular with repeater owners.
It is used to link repeater setups all over the world. It's amusing to sit
here on a UHF repeater in Southern California and talk with "The Mud Duck"
in Oz. The link is via IRLP nodes. The repeater operation is via local
repeaters at each end. And the nodes are purely a Linux operation the last
I knew.
