[Ham-Mac] Still trying to go digital (with SignaLink, iBook G4, Cocoamodem, iMic)

[Wes Bennett]

Fellow EchoMac users,

      Being sort of a newbie with this system, I'm only suggesting my 
fix with my iBook  and EchoMac.  Quite blindly, I just bought a USB 
Stereo Headset/mike from Logitech and just plugged it in. My iBook has 
a USB high-speed bus, if that's applicable.
   BTW, if anyone wants to get in on the EchoMac/Echolink  Salvation 
Army Communications link, just go to  http://www.satern.org/. They need 
Hams to help in relaying info in times of emergencies.
