VoIP telephone "wire line remote" for Allstar

Folks -

Has anyone made a software modification to Allstar to allow using a VoIP telephone hardware as a “wire line remote” node? I am thinking it would be nice to access my node on VHF from my ham shack using wire line control using a Polycom, Snom, or some similar telephone. PTT could be on one of the soft keys. A hardware version of the IAX_RPT?

Another idea may be to take an old DC wire line control phone and connect a URI to it.

well, if you want a soft key for “assert PTT” and one for “unassert PTT”, you could do it easily
by making them make DTMF sequences (*9 and #, actually), and have the dialplan for the SIP
phone invoke app_rpt with the ‘P’ parameter, the same way the Allstar portal does it.

Dont expect a soft key on a SIP phone to be able to do much else. Regardless of anything else
SIP phones do not give you an ‘event’ or status for ‘both’ states of a buffon (such as ‘button pressed’,
‘button released’). You are more likely to get something like this with an MCGP phone, if someone wants
to 1) make chan_mgcp work with whatever phone you may have, and 2) have the ‘button events’
change the keying status towards/within app_rpt. Would be a hack job at best.
