A good reason to investigate linux, learn about it, become proficient in its
use and gain freedom from microsofts control.

Linux is free... you can download .iso files, burn the OS disks and free
yourself from microsofts control... or, simply pick up a copy at a software
store near you, it is very cheap for the already prepared disks and manual.

Thanks John, I run my web server, email server, DNS and loads of other stuff
on a Red Hat Linux 8.0 platform, and I'm very impressed with its stability
and multi-tasking capabilities. The PC concerned is an ancient P200 that
comes nowhere near the minimum requirements for XPee, but despite its
workload, I've not even had to reboot it so far this year.

Now there is only one VoIP ham program left which is worth using:
Echolink.

Reason: You now have to register to use eQSO, but eQSO has vastly
inferior audio to Echolink. The friendly and trusting atmosphere has
vanished among eQSO operators, and that was in fact its one, redeeming
virtue. Now it has morphed into an inferior Echolink, and it is
simply not worth the effort required to register for it when one can
devote that effort to Echolink instead.

Goodbye, eQSO. You were fun while you lasted.

Probably had nothing to do with any of what you said LLllllloooooyyyyyddddd.

People just got tired of talking to you.

But who actually cares what you think about Echolink/Eqso e.t.c. ?

Real hams care.

Dan/W4NTI

I find Echolink is more interesting because all hams are there. Unlike
eQSO has limited hams there.

For new eQSO, they did not mention they want to my ham license for them
to process my registration. Echolink has mentioned on their website.

HS Phuah

I think the point should be, if you don't like Eqso/Echolink, don't use
it. Some people on this ng will be glad NOT to hear the anti-echolink
folk on it.

I great debate on what a REAL ham is coming over the horizon !! No
doubt everybody will agree on what a real ham is...... Hi.

The 'friendly and trusting atmosphere' has probably gone following abuse.
The particulars asked for during registration are name, address, call
sign and email. These are then verified in some way, probably by QRZ.COM
or similar before a password is issued.
This information is readily available so all an abuser needs is
verifiable particulars. The only problem I can see is that people who
are 'particulars withheld' may have difficulty with registration.
