| To activate the Echolink channel driver, all that's required is a properly formatted configuration file. A base configuration file has been included with Both ACID and Limey Linux and is located in /usr/src/configs/examples/echolink. Copy this file to /etc/asterisk, and edit it to match your callsign, password and node number assignment from Echolink.org.
