A good packetnetwork is transparent to the users!
It should be useable for every one, should be able to route waht ever packets
etc!
That is not the case with a bpq network.

Don't help most people, they don't get enough information to be able
configure bpq in a proper way only by reading the docs.
Bpq wrote his docs for people with rather much packet radio knowledge, not the
avarage node operator!
But the average node operator don't read the docs any way, he use the same
configuration as the neighbour node.
