It could mean that PC/FlexNet has not been fully developed yet, with
problems such as having to select either the latest or a superseded
version of the serial drivers depending on your computer system, while BPQ
has very few, if any, bugs.

Will it support my Kantronics KPC3, a very popular tnc?

Will it support my PacComm HandiPacket tnc?

Will it allow me to run my node without having to register as a sysop? I
run packet in my computer room in the house with just a handheld radio
which connects to the network through a BPQ node in my shack out the back
where the higher powered radios and antennas are located.
