You'd need a computer that can run Linux if you don't have one already, 
you'd need their interface board they won't let you use any others. I looked 
in to it for my repeater so I'd have more control than I would with lowlife 
link and no one could get on with just a computer but financially I gave up 
on it for now because the $120 at least for the board is way out of my 
budget right now. Sad thing is I have everything for lowlife link and could 
even add it to my winlink gateway computer but I'm not dealing with people 
getting on via computer and I want it more for repeater linking than 
anything else, local repeater linking for drills and disasters, I don't want 
some moron getting on from another country or across this one bragging about 
a contact they made and how no one needs hf and all that like happened when 
I had my simplex link up 7 or 8 years ago. Thank god I haven't heard that 
person or the one he was talking to anywhere since.
