Hello Dennis,

Excuse my ignorance, but does already exist software that interfaces 
asterisk with a radio-transceiver using a soundcard?

Do you refer to rpt? I didn't find soundcard support on the rpt asterisk 
module. Anyway, I also wanted to add some features I think rpt don't 
have (I have hardly used it, so correct me):

- Very tolerant DTMF decoding (enabling also HF users to call)
- Each user has its own extension: when you call a radio-user extension, 
an audio inform about that the call if for that particular user (of 
course, there is no way to prevent any other user in the channel from 
answering it)
- Generic PTT/Carrier-detection support (although includes serial, 
parallel built-in). That means you can use the interface board you want.
