Has anybody ever found a "cookbook" setup for this. I have a pair of 2600's, and the VIC-2E/Ms, and NM-1's, but it seems my IOS version is 12.3 and won't do it, plus, IOS, while fairly intuitive, has so many crankhandles that I get lost in the setup.
It seems that while the hardware may be readily available ( a friend sent three 2600's thta were being tossed out) the real issue will be IOS. About 8 years back a friend in DFW had this setup, but as a remote phone line extention. Same basic stuff. And you cannot beat it for reliability. But for site link I use DRIL which is a modified "simpleh323" deal. Run it on CF card with a pair of Netier XL-2000 250 mhz computers. I'm also playing with app_rpt. The USB audio interface has issues. But for non-critical (amateur radio) applications, its ok. Maybe overkill for a link. Also trying limey-linux, have my first working build there. Not bad, no moving parts.
