amateur radio repeaters. IRLP is Linux based, for PC's. Again, Canada at the forefront of development in amateur radio
as was the case with amateur Packet Radio.

radio repeaters, but with access from PC users (headset users) like I-Phone. iLink is MS-Windows based for PC's.
eQSO is another form of internet gateway, access via RF gateways, or PC (headset) user, like iLink, except that
you connect to conference rooms, actually logical repeaters, like the old packet conference bridges. Created by Paul M0ZPD
