I'm running with a Pentium 166 Laptop / WIN95 and Winpack.
I'm using BPQ node as Packet driver.
It's perfectly STABLE and the only grief I can make is that I cannot run
different client application with different callsigns as Packet Engine does
but this is maybe because I do not handle BPQ enough (any idea?).
For me, it's not obsolete at all. Just a bit confusing to run with Windows
application but this was an interresting challenge.
So works fine for me, waiting a Flexnet Upgrade.
Happy New Year.
