My GOOD argument :  BPQ is the ONLY driver that runs stable here.

I'm NOT speaking of node features, just as a packet driver.

Have tried TFPCX, TFX and TFEMU+FlexNet+USCC/XSCC. All of them crash.

BPQ is the BETTER packet driver ever made. Netrom is another issue.

But is the only that doesn't crash here. Sometime FlexNet will improve.

Try running that on a Pentium under Windows ..........

Yes, FlexNet needs TWO computers, one for it and the other for the BBS.

BPQ doesn't !
