#1) MAJOR SECURITY RED FLAG!!!  You give regular users access to the 
OPERATING SYSTEM at the COMMAND LINE LEVEL?

DUDE!  NO!  (Breathe, Geoff, BREATHE!)... be calm and persevere... *deep 
breath*  HOLD IT!  Eht.... EHT.   ~Whewwww~

Ok... where were we?  Oh, yeah - Echolink.


I configured another node number, in rpt.conf with some basic minor 
stuff (could all be commented out, really) then configured echolink.conf 
to reflect -that- node number.  Think I simply link one node to the 
other.  Echolink is ready to roll.  Yeah, dialing out is a bit 
cumbersome and no one seems to know what nodenumber is assigned with 
what repeater... and for me, that's ok!  Unless that end user on my 
system has done a little research and has become -at least- self 
sufficient enough to know what number they want to dial, then I'm -not- 
going to broadcast to the world how to access my system.

Now, I can hear the necks of some people cracking, and remarks of 'how 
anal retentive', but trust me... there's a group around here that's got 
allstar systems all -over- the place... -none- of the 'standard' 
commands work on -any- of THOSE systems...  You can't even get a link 
status, allstar has been so jacked up.  (Can you say "paranoid"?)
