EchoMac is designed as a single user, single connect application. It is meant as a means to allow you to connect to any other station or conference server on the Echolink system. It can only connect to one station at a time, but if you connect to a conference server you can talk to as many stations as that conference server supports - just make sure every connects to that same conference server and you can have a group chat.

The first time you use the Echolink network, you need to be verified. This is accomplished by simply putting in your information (call, name, location, password) in the program preferences and connecting to the network. This will queue you up for approval, and then you just wait. Sometimes it takes fifteen minutes, sometimes it may take up to a day or longer, but that's unusual. However, eventually you should be able to log in successfully. When you run it the first time and put in your information, you can either leave the software running while awaiting validation and eventually you will see the list of active stations appear, or you can quit and come back later to check if you are validated.
I have been requested by Johnathan Taylor, K1RFD, the author of Echolink, to have you visit his web site:

Please register your call and e-mail address with him, even though you are not downloading the software from there.

If you are using a MAC would you please tell me how you have your machine
configured as it might give me an idea of what is incorrect in my
configuration.
I am using a G4 and G3 iBook both running OS X 10.3.6. Max memory installed in
both machines. EchoMac version 1.13 (v1.13) connection is via Comcast cable modem.
Thanks for your time///

Charlie is correct. I carefully configured my NetTopia router to allow pinhole 5198 5199 5200 UDP TCP, etc. per the insructions; ditto for my Mac. Total failure.
Tried two different Macs on 3 different ISPs. Now trying a Mac direct to ISP, not even through a router, problem persists. Tried echolink under Parallels Desktop, total failure.
I do not think it's a UDP 5198 5199 problem.
I am skilled as a programmer and I've been trying everything possible with zero success. The troubleshooting documentation needs a lot more detail and procedural steps.
A Macintosh application ought to be successful immediately first try. Let the windoze users spend days and weeks troubleshooting.
If anyone knows the secret to getting Echomac to work, I'll highly appreciate finding out.
My provider request PPPoE connection so, fi your does the same this probably may work:
1) set up your ADSL modem as a Bridge so that it does not authenticate through PPPoE.
2) enter the control panel of your mac, select Network and under your connection port check the "Connect using PPPoE" and set up there the authentication parameter (user and password).
In my case it work.

So far I've spent hours trying all sorts of combinations and settings, nothing works. I sent a long descriptive email to the programmer and have received no reply.
Because the software is freeware, I have no right to complain, although I'm already violating that unwritten rule.
Before I enter a negative review with "zero stars," I will physically take this Mac to my ISP and attempt a direct connect with the engineer watching me. If we conclude that the software simply does not work at all, then I'll take my complaint to the MacUpdate webmaster.
If anyone believes that Echomac works, and would like to share enough real details as to how they got it to work, I'll be most appreciative.
A Macintosh user should not have to spend hours troubleshooting a software just to get it to work.
How can I fix my problem as I am on a lan network.
