>> For a DSTAR bridge, you'll need DVSwitch running along-side either ASL or HamVoIP, and a vocoder dongle -- NWDigital DV3000 or DVMega DVstick30. These are basically the same. The DV3000 is manufactured in the U.S. and the DVstick is not. Get which ever is cheapest. I have some of both. They look and perform exactly the same. I have no idea about current availability, but I know that it was pretty hard to get either of them for quite a while last year.

Finding an existing image probably won't save you a lot of time in the long run, in this case, unless *everything* is already configured for you.
