chan_dstar.c is the Asterisk channel driver for D-Star.
This driver requires a dongle to convert analog to digital audio
and back.

The steps to make it work are as follows:

1)
copy chan_dstar.c to the /usr/src/asterisk/channels directory

2)
rebuld the Asterisk server with
   gmake
   gmake install

3)
In /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf
define a node that has the rxchannel set to this:

   rxchannel=dstar/0.0.0.0:9990:7770 

4)
In /etc/asterisk/modules.conf, make sure you load chan_dstar.so
just in case you have set autoload=no

5)
If you will be connecting to dstar nodes who run dplus which blocks people,
Download the package dstar2analog for Linux from 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rtpDir/ in the "Files" section

If you will be connecting to our dstar nodes who run dextra_srv where everyone is welcome
and there is no blocking,
download the dextra_cli package from 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rtpDir/ in the "Files" section

6)
Configure the dextra_cli (or the dstar2analog) package
by looking at dextra_cli_conf.txt and dextra_cli_connect.txt
(or by looking into dstar2analog_conf.txt and dstar2analog_connect.txt)

so that they match the rxchannel=dstar/0.0.0.0:9990:7770 in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf

7)
Read the file dextar_cli_readme.txt (or dstar2analog_readme.txt)
The instructions in that file tell you how to set the dongle up.

8)
Link in your Asterisk radio node to the driver node that has
rxchannel=dstar/0.0.0.0:9990:7770
(Use a DTMF command to link the 2 nodes)

Your Asterisk radio node usually has this:
rxchannel = Radio/usb

9) 
Start the Asterisk server and start the  dstar_cli software(or dstar2analog)
