Bill, Thanks for your efforts in this. You are the 4th person I have encountered that has had EXTREME difficulty in configuring for echolink. I am still one of them myself.

In the meantime, I have forwarded this email to our AMSAT-FLORIDA list in hopes that someone will answer as Scott did who might have another angle on this.
