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

DUDE! NO! (Breathe, Geoff, BREATHE!)... be calm and persevere...
*deep breath* HOLD IT! Eht.... EHT. ~Whewwww~<br>
<br>
Ok... where were we? Oh, yeah - Echolink.<br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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"?)<br>
