The QnetGateway is an D-Star IRCDDB gateway application that supports MMDVMHost (and all of its supported repeater modems) as well as the DVAP Dongle, the DVRPTR_V1. It is *incredibly easy* to build and install the system.
The Qnet Gateway program now includes support for Icom's new Terminal Mode and Access Point mode. For more information, Terminal Mode turns off the RF portion of you radio and just uses the AMBE vocoder to convert between audio and AMBE data and then sends and receives that data through a USB serial cable. Access Point mode turns your Icom radio into a high power, simplex hot-spot.
QnetGateway is dual-stack capabile. This means it can simultaneously connect to rr.openquad.net, which is IPv4 based (using 32-bit internet addresses) and to rrv6.openquad.net which is IPv6 based (using 128-bit internet address). If your hot-spot/reapeater has IPv6 access you can enable dual-stack operation (it's IPv4-only by default) and then take advantage of direct world-routable address. The potential benefit of IPv6 to routing is significant.
QnetGateway now supports MMDVM modems directly, without the need for MMDVMHost. This is for hams that want to use their MMDVM devices and create a hot-spot for D-Star mode only. (You still can talk to your friends on other modes by gathering at multi-mode reflectors, like the QuadNet Array!)

For building a QnetGateway + MMDVMHost system, see the MMDVM.README file. To build QnetGateway that uses a DVAP Dongle or DVRPTR V1, see the CONFIG+INSTALL file. To build QnetGateway for an Icom Repeater Stack, I have another repo at QnetIcomGateway. Detailed information is available there.
