To me, the comparisons between BPQ and Flexnet are like discussing the
virtues between two similar makes of cars. The disadvantage of both is
they require a seperate thing called a computer. In the real world of
packet RF networking a TNC based node is the most economical. TNC-2
clones and thenet chips are very cheap and easy to maintain if installed
correctly.
In the US, Kantronics Data Engine TNC's outfitted with BPQ code in ROM
can often be found doing main-line network service. If the Flexnet people
were serious about promoting their system, seems they would release code
that would work with the Data Engine TNC's.
