[Ham-Mac] Wires II system (Voice over Internet)

[Dennis Hudson]

I've never heard of a mac version of WIRES, nor is there a "sysop"  
version of EchoMac. EchoMac is a GUI wrapped, recompiled version of  
echolinux. Sadly echolinux was never fully developed into a full  
blown product.

Find an older PC, put a basic Windows OS (WIN NT or 2000 if it will  
run) and firewall of your choosing and let the WIRES machine run in  
the corner. If you put very little software on a windows machine it  
is actually pretty stable. Same applies for an Echolink or IRLP node.  
Strip it down, let it alone and it will run fine.
