You don't "connect" to ANDE, you connect to RAFT.

TO see how to operate the packet-to-voice synthesizers on RAFT

take you to the same page:

http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/ande-raft-ops.html

The very first paragraph tells about operating these satellites.
And encourages this link for details:

Goodl luck.
