Hello everyone,
Although EchoLink has been the topic here, I really want to put in a plug
for SKYPE. The more I use it, the more I really like it. The audio quality
is great and it's full duplex (though really long hauls makes for more
latency than I like).

Although it isn't used like EchoLink, it's a great "peer to peer" service
and up to five people can conference at once with it.

If you want to hook up with me and try it, let me know. My username is
arjay1.

I've used it here on my pc and with my PAC Mate and a WIFI card.
