Nice.....?
So does this new software look like a hotspot, Joe-user, on the dplus reflector dashboard or is it recognized as a repeater/gateway?
This cannot change without work by AA4RC to support it in the DPLUS central authentication servers.? There isn't anything Tom can do without Robins' concurrence.

The g2_link addon to G2/G3 connects to XRF/DCS and uses dplus so it looks like a repeater. It will also pass the USTRUST and the G2 or G3 registration???or?
The registration information for USTRUST is based on the G2/G3 code running on a gateway.? It will not change without Icom deciding to make the system more open.? There is nothing Tom can do to change that.
User registration was put in, as I understand it, because the Japanese regulators didn't want D-STAR TCP/IP networks bridging to the Internet (government monopoly in Japan) without registration.? It makes no sense whatsoever since the callsign is unique and identifies the stations involved.

The ircDDBGateway has the same issue, they connect to a REFxxxy as a ¡°client¡±, not as a gateway/repeaters. So that means the Icom repeater running this Package or the ircDDBGateway are in the Remote Users area of a REFxxx dashboard.
