I have sent three bulletins addressed to  BPQ @ WW in interest of those  using
BPQAX25.COM with the BPQ switch and a Baycom modem.

One is the BPQAX25.COM docs, as  it seems some entrerprising hams are using it
and lacking the docs. Hope this helps tuning params for a better setup.

Another  two  are  the  AX25.COM docs,  the  Baycom  packet  driver  for  NOS,
written by  Pawel Jalocha,  SP9VRC. It  was the  source for  Jon Welch,  G7JJF
writing BPQAX25,  and I  find some  of the  remarks and  FAQ list  compiled by
SP9VRC for his driver also may apply for those homebrewing their solutions.

I do agree that the best solution is to have a TNC, I run a BBS with two ports
and two KPC's using FBB and JNOS via  a BPQ switch. If you learn how, you  can
run SEVERAL packet programs that  accept BPQ host interface, either  direct or
via a dedicated BPQ driver, you have  to work that out in the combios  section
of bpqcfg.txt using multitasking software. I use MS-DOS 6.22 and Desqview, and
can  use FBB,  JNOS, BPQTERM,  TSTHOST, THUNDER,  SYSOPH, etc,  within  memory
constraints. Why  so many  ? Every  one has  its peculiarities  that makes  it
better  than others  in some  aspect, and  for YappC  transfers,  Thunder  and
TSTHOST are better clients than my sysop window in FBB, which is a much better
server, and so on. FBB and JNOS  are the battle horses and the others are good
helpers for the sysop.

Do  what  you can  with  your Baycom  modem,  but, I  insist,  the distributed
intelligence processing does  better. May be  this one be  a step on  the way,
until you can afford something better.  Thanks to hams like G8BPQ, SP9VRC  and
G7JJF we can enjoy this kind of solutions today.

Happy New Year to you all !
