I recently posted an instructable for an FLDigi compatible interface. It was largely based on a Hamcomm interface I designed as a hand out for a Ham / PC Usergroup talk I gave in 2005.
The main difference between HamComm and FLDigi is that FLDigi can use a tone on the right channel to key the rig eliminating the need for a serial port to drive a relay that Hamcomm used.
I wanted to try echolink and I found that this interface worked perfectly except Echolink likes the serial PTT option.
This instructable is a combination of all options in one box and its built from over 90% recycled parts so its Eco friendly, hence the name.
I wanted to hide the USB serial and USB sound dongles in the box so I looked through my junk box for a USB Hub. I found a 4 port hub so I decided to add a USB memory key.
The key contains all install images for echolink, FLDigi and supporting programs as well as some rig control software and the drivers for the Trendnet Serial adapter. I included versions for Mac PC and LInux. I wont post the contents for the memory stick because you have to register for echolink yourself.
The serial control lines are used to drive the relay but the TX and RX lines are brought out to a DB9 for other uses like controlling a newer radio.

Java update for mac. 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.
EchoMac is a client program for OS X that allows connection to the Echolink system. It is built as a Universal Binary, and works on OS X 10.3.9 or later (including 10.8.x) The first time you use the Echolink network, you will need to verify your callsign.

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.
