Yes, it implements it for a locl TNC, but it also injects a copy
into the APRS-IS. This is where we expected the majority of
applications. Then it is a NO-HARDWARE solution.
All that has to be done is the local IGATE to add the object
name of the local EchoLink nodes to his pass-to-RF list and
done...
Or at least that is how I thought it should work. If it is not
working tht way, the let me know and I will try to get it
fixed.. Your feedback below is PERFECT! Thanks for the help.

It's not putting anything into the APRS-IS at all. The configuration
dialog for APRS in Echolink looks like this:<br>

<br>
Note that there is absolutely no provision for specifying an APRS-IS
server address or login. The APRS support is only RF-based. <br>
<br>
The only Internet activity EchoLink does is phone home to it's own
indexing severs to report change of status of the nodes. The current
status and nodes-online list is here:<br>

[EchoLink is a peer-to-peer protocol, but in a manner similar to Bit
Torrrent or Skype, DOES use centralized servers to broker the initial
connection(s). <br>
