[App_rpt-users] Echolink Connectivity Issue

[Kirk Just Kirk]

Wait a minute......
I do fully understand WHY Dave Cameron wanted us to all yank IRLP out of
our systems, it interfered with his SELLING you a piece of shit PCB for
IRLP to the tune of $170/with a FREE node number thrown in for a bonus.
(thats my opinion).Thats OK by me....about 85% of the IRLP installations
sound like shit anyways.
But Echolink should be HAPPY (YAYYYY) that the Allstar crowd is having
access to BOTH modes......
Smells like a rumor to me.Everyone else (other than IRLP) has YOU the owner
install/set up/operateYOUR hardware.
It's only IRLP that makes you wait till THEIR "Install team" can install
your software for you.
Echolink probably wouldnt care if you ran it on a Proctor-Silex toaster if
you can do it....(Jim can do it)
