That is, when someone speaks over one of the repeaters it is captured, and streamed to Sydney. The ability to talk back to a particular repeater is also desired.

Jack,

I recognise you from aus.radio.broadcast, no?

Have you looked at the Internet Repeater Linking Project (IRLP)??

	http://www.irlp.net/

It is a Linux-based solution utilised by Amateur Radio operators around

It might be re-purposed to suit your requirements.
