Dennis,

 DS> Sorry about that. Yes, EchoLink.

  That makes more sense...although as fast as technology is changing, they
might name a new mode after Echonet.

  I'm not an expert on that, but I'm sure you need a special cable...I'll
defer to others in here on that.

 DS> I'm trying to do.

  I use the desktop application for some of my nets, and the smartphone
app as a backup, if the home internet goes out.

  I also maintain a list of selected D-Star, Echolink, and D-Rats Nets, 
in Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time, which you can find at 
http://www.wx4qz.net/elk.htm -- the list has mostly D-Star Nets, with
quite a few Echolink Nets, and a few D-Rats nets for good measure.

  That's also the first hyperlink from my bio on QRZ -- and you'll find 
PDF files related to amateur radio...including a collection of ham radio
humor, setting up Netlogger for use with nets, and "The PCL Net", from
the NS2B BBS in Penfield, New York.

Daryl, WX4QZ

... I just bought a cured ham. I wonder what it had??
