Is that ILRP related in any way to ECHO/LINK? I have used that
several times since there is a 2meter rptr about 2 blocks from
my QTH. Talked to ARCTIC CIRCLE/Germany/England etc with
about 5 watts output from my Azden rig.

Exact same thing.

Using commercial services to connect ham radio
systems together, so hams can pretend to work DX :-)

IRLP links repeaters via the internet. This allows local repeater users to talk
to repeater users from around the world from their HT, mobile and base radios.

Echolink allows hams use their computers to talk on repeaters around the world.
No radio required.

One other thing - with Echolink you can talk to other hams on their computers
without the need of any radios.

While possible, that's not the main purpose. Echolink was developed because
IRLP is designed to be a closed system. The Echolink people wanted a
system that allowed *any* ham to register and link their radio.

both are related in the fact that they each use VOIP to link repeaters over
the internet.

IRLP requires an actual radio link to the "input" repeater, while EchoLink
allows for hams to connect to a repeater using a radio or directly over the
internet using the microphone on their computer.

I do not consider the use of either system as working "DX", but rather as
alternate methods of linking repeaters together, or a different means of
remote operation in the case of EchoLink.
