OK, up and running on #hamsoverIP and a first QSO there with Steve #K4KSA in Florida, using Zoiper on Android.
If I understand the system topology, we were connected on Hams Over IP 15000 via Allstar 49050 which #N8EMA runs with a multiport connection to a few different nets.

Appreciate everyone's help in getting this started, and also to @Mark2E1CEQ for getting this started.
I will do a proper writeup after a little more experimentation.
