No your delivery requirements was a bit strange, so don't blaim me!

You mean that you run a standalone node under win95, when you could have been
using any other os (dos for bpq) instead?
It is amazing!
A node shall run for years with out any breaks and no maintenance don't think
your win95 will do that!

How bad so sad!

In what way?
What makes bpq worth using, more than it can be used.
The main reason for using bpq seems to be that it can be used on very slow
computers, but that seems not to be the reason in your case!
There are better softwares avaliable, why should they not be used?

That could be done in better ways.
Use hostmode or whatever, but bpq and its kiss doesn't provide a good
interfcae to packet radio.
Bpq used as packet driver isn't as good as other packet driver, and if you
want a node is bpq the worst choise.
How come you seems think so?

There are those who think that "32 bit program" is some sort of magic word
that turns any crap in to something fantastic!
Win32 have a from m$'s point of view feature that makes it impossible to use
16bit software without filling up the ram.
It is ordinary software for windows!
Bpq is no 32bit software!
