+The SvxLink project is developing a flexible, general purpose voice
+services system for ham radio use.
+The SvxLink Server consists of a core that handles the connection to
+the transceiver. The core can be configured to act as a repeater
+controller or to operate on a simplex channel. The voice services are
+loaded into the core as plugins.
+The project also includes an EchoLink client GUI application (Qtel).
+
+Opus is an optional (and, based on the audio quality, suggested!)
+dependency available from slackbuilds.org

+ # groupadd -g 286 svxlink
+ # useradd -u 286 -g svxlink -d /var/spool/svxlink -s /bin/false svxlink
