[George Briggs]

Tom, NV1U, asked me to forward this to the reflector.
Great news from Ed, W8APE. EchoLink is now working again. Read below to see how Ed got it done for us. Nice going, Ed, and thank you!

> I noted that you had signed in a couple of times but did not start a conversation so I was unsure it was  actually working.  Others with Apple phones should now give it a try.
>  
> I did some research again specifically for the new CenturyLink Technicolor modem (even those have different versions).  It took a while to figure out how to add a new "application" specifically for the Echolink PC.  It's called "Dell" in the listing on the modem.  Then changed the TCP to 5200 and the UDP to 5198 and 5199.  Then ran some virus and malware scans and rebooted the PC.

> I also reset the "conferences" on the SysOp from 10 to 5 (should be enough - had problems once before with larger number).

> Sorry this has taken so long but I had few times to work on it and first couple of tries caused other problems so I needed to proceed with caution.

> Looks like the “Apple Anomaly” that’s plagued the TVARC EchoLink repeater is gone!  During several tests tonight (Sunday, June 16, 2017), I was suddenly able to successfully connect to our club’s repeater using my Apple iPhone.  YIPPEE!
> 
> See the attached 2 screenshots taken from my iPhone during one of those successful connection tests as proof that I’m not hallucinating!
> 
> Did you make a specific change (or changes) that explain why it’s suddenly working again?  If so, let us know what did the trick.
