VOIP eQSO is designed to emulate a large hf radio net. The system is optimised for radio gateways, however the software for use on PCs is free and can be downloaded from http://www.eqso.net . Support is available at http://www.eqso.org. Access to eQSO may be by computer or through a radio gateway. eQSO users may register with the eQSO website, and receive their own eQSO.org email address. eQSO is the simpler of the VOIP programs. It requires less memory to operate and has fewer conflicts when running across networks where firewall may be present. If you are using an older computer to access the internet, you may want to consider this program.
Echolink software has evolved from the iLink software, which is now largely defunct. Echolink can be used either through gateways, or by amateurs using computers. Echolink supports conference rooms, and the gateways respond to DTMF commands. It also permits computer to computer contracts. Echolink can be downloaded from http://www.synergenics.com/el/ The Echolink software package has more bell and whistles. In addition to station to station contacts, the package provides a text box for messaging the computer stations you are in contact with. It also let you set up favorites and alarms lists. It does require more memory to run and may require special configuration of the network ports.
