[App_rpt-users] not as intuitive as EchoLink

[George Csahanin]

The thing is, it isn't Echolink and not really intended to be used like 
Echolink from a PC. There are ways to do it but the primary use is to 
interface a repeater to Allstar, and connect to other repeaters. You're 
probably looking at the list of nodes or online nodes and will see 
bubble charts, etc.

Somewhere on the net you can download IAXRPT and install it. That's a PC 
to asterisk(allstar) application. You'd need to know the ip address, and 
name and password  for that particular repeater. And if the repeater has 
the echolink ports open it can be accessed thru the usual echo software.

That's pretty much it. Unless I mis-understood your query.
