I found those echlink servers to not work...here's 
what I use:

server1=server1.echolink.org
server2=server2.echolink.org
server3=server3.echolink.org

And number two seems to be flaky to connect to. 

They appear to pretty much resolve to the same 
places, but for some reason the original host names don't work for 
me...

Also, to eliminate the idiots from el-land with 
drive by connects at 3AM my time I have a restriction to only allow 
connects to certain callsigns.
I was getting tired of 10 second connects from 
parts of teh world that won't talk to me on 20M, but will take the time to annoy 
me on echolink.

mine:

permit=kb8niv,wb5cey,n5jgx-r,n5jgx,n5jgx-l,w2db,w2db-l,w8vt,w8vt-r,wa2fwj,w2vfw,w2lei,wb2ijn,wa2mct,wa2mct-l,wa2mct-r

Keeps things nice and quiet, except when one of the 
permitted stations starts talking to himself at midnight...

  Bryan,
  I understand, having run many 
  Echolink nodes, EchoIRLP nodes, etc. for years….  However, the good news 
  is you can limit who can connect!  You can lock it down to certain 
  callsigns, good for RACES group, etc…

  Unfortunately, despite several 
  replies, I have the same config in echolink.conf as everyone sent me and it 
  never shows up on Echolink.

  Maybe someone can catch my 
  typo:

  [el0]
  confmode=no
  call=*CONFNAME* ; Change 
  this!
  pwd=password ; Change 
  this!
  name=Allstar 27408 ; Change 
  this to your real name!
  qth=Allstar 27408 ; Change 
  this to your actual QTH!
  email=kb8zgl at kb8zgl.net ; 
  Change this!
  maxstns=5
  rtcptimeout=10
  node=8248 ; Change 
  this!                             
  (Could this be my issue?  Maybe I need to pad the zeros like Allstar 
  does?)
  recfile=/tmp/recorded.gsm
  astnode=27408 ; Change this to 
  your active Allstar node number!

  are you really sure you want to?  serious 
  question...i'm a lot happier and less agravated by the brain-damaged echolink 
  boneheads since I set it up into a non connected pseudo node.  connect to 
  me...and it goes nowhere else. there is nothing you can do with echolink that 
  you can't do with the web transceiver; and the barrier to entry is a bit 
  higher, too. 

  i realize this sounds unwelcoming and not in the spirit of 
  ham radio...neither is the continuous kerchunking, dead key timeouts, and lack 
  of understanding about the environment you are connected to.  i prefer to 
  shift the surfers off into a virtual dummy load.

    I am trying to setup the echolink portion of an allstar 
    node.  I followed the instructions for echolink.conf.  I don’t see 
    any errors, I know chan_echolink is built in…

    Is there any way to check logs or what is 
    happening?  It doesn’t show up on Echolink.

    FYI, this is a conference (ie. *confname*).  
    I am hoping that works ok?

    Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot 
    this?
