We have been using EchoStation for about a year now on our county wide 2 meter and 440 machines. There have been no issues with either. Be sure to build the small circuit that monitors the serial line to determine if the computer locks up, it kills the ptt line. It has been nice to access it with VNC and Hamachi to do total control over the web. New messages can be loaded and run as can all the audio and timing settings from any networked computer. Both computers are old P1's with sound cards and serial ports, nothing special. They were set to reboot every night to avoid problems. The EchoStation was set to run automatically on boot. I figure the most we would be out would be one day without running out to the site.
