    Larry,

    Congratulations on both getting it working and the perseverance to see
    it through....

    The EchoLink test node is 9999.

    Convention is callsign node - no radio attached, callsign-L is with a
    simplex radio attached, and callsign-R is for use with repeaters.
    These aren't hard and fast though.
    However, an EchoIRLP node MUST have a -L or -R callsign.  A user
    callsign won't work (enforced by the Echolink servers), and a conference callsign/ID will cause EchoIRLP to disable the link between tbd and the
    radio interface and run tbd as a pure conference (it will still work for
    IRLP in this mode).

    I would be interested in the reason for this limitation on user EchoLink nodes in tbd/tlb. I think I recently mentioned on theLinkbox group that
    this behaviour seemed contrary to how the EchoLink windows client functions with user nodes. The limitation is built-in to the tbd/tlb programs. I plan to experiment with a modified tlb to see if this limitation can be removed, or at least be made to work like the Windows client.
    My understanding is it's the servers, which authorise clients based on
    both login/password, as well as software version.  The Windows client
    has two distinct modes of operation - sysop (for RF links) and user
    (with all of the RF linking features disabled).  Similarly, tbd won't authenticate with a -L or -R callsign, unless put into a configuration
    that's specific to EchoIRLP (specifically, having SF_Port and
    SF_ReplyPort set to different values) that causes it to send a different version number.  At one stage it also had to be limited to no more than
    2 connections - i.e. one connected Echolink station, but that limitation appears to have been removed in recent times.  tlb, being designed for
    RF links doesn't have the limits on -L/-R operation that tbd has.
