[App_rpt-users] 2 systems on one LAN, each with an Echolink number

[K&R Yoksh]

I'll second Jon's advice... Another possibility not yet mentioned is to 
operate a private Proxy server at another location, and configure your 
second box to use the proxy for Echolink... I did just that back in about 
2006 , although not using App-rpt.. It was all we could do at the time, so 
it was 100% better than nothing.. However, that brings you up to 3 PCs to 
operate 2 nodes...

Lastly, you could try what I'm doing here.. At my QTH, I operate several 
Allstar nodes, and my solution was to connect the Echolink node to a hub 
node (2210). Through experimention, I found that outbound Echolink calls 
seem to work fine from any node, even when the RF nodes are not connected to 
the hub node. I'm not sure if that feature was ever planned, but it seems to 
work! I normally do not connect the RF nodes to the hub node. Nodes 
2210-2213 are all running on a single P3/866 MHZ PC.

If I am expecting an inbound Echolink call (almost never), we can connect 
any or all of the RF nodes to the hub node.

73 for now.

Based on that info, what you could do is set up 2 Allstar nodes on one
box and setup one echolink node.
Connect each node to repeater. That way its the same as having 2 boxes
(actually simpler) and both nodes can access the echolink.
