I sure hope so. For 8 years I have been trying to get all
Repeater controllers with DTMF and Voice, and Echolink, and IRLP
and anything that listens for DTMF to add this simple
translation to APRS. And from APRS to voice.. But so far I
have not had much success.

This is going to require that the Echolink or IRLP operator add a
second sound system to the PC running their apps, since the PC's sound
system is already taken by the existing VoIP application. If the
machine is a relatively fast unit (i.e. P-III 500/600 Mhz or higher not
burdened with an el-cheapo brain-dead CPU-resource-sucking
software-instead-of-hardware motherboard sound system) it should be
able to support a second PCI-bus sound card without difficulty. (Or a
USB-connected external sound device .)<br>
<br>
A critical requirement for the APRStt software will be to provide the
option to choose WHICH sound card (of more than one) to use. [Some
soundcard apps such as AGWpe, mmSSTV and MixW allow you to choose sound
cards within the program, but a surprising number of ham apps leave you
stuck with the Windows default sound system only.] <br>
