Anyone that may have tried to use the EchoLink node in the last few days probably noticed that it's down.  Windows XP hiccuped and I noticed that 147.435 was quiet.  I couldn't access the machine remotely, so I powered it off using the power button.  Unfortunately I won't have time to look at it for a few days.  Check out http://www.echolink.org/ for alternative nodes.  I apologize for any inconvenience.
