              Mr Bob writted on ye olde worlde packet system:-
         ^    
         ^    > but I have a problem with Winpack, that when I boot up the
         ^    > program I get an error message "cannot find BPQ switch." 
         ^    > Can anyone tell me what that means? BPQ is mentioned in the 
         ^    >"ini" file but seems in order.
         ^
         ^
         ^    As I understand it Bob, you're using an internet connection
         ^    on packet these days. I assume you have tried to use your 
         ^    other machine whilst you get the other PC sorted.
         ^
         ^    In which case you do not need BPQ, which is a piece of packet
         ^    switching software. Normally used as a "front end" to a packet 
         ^    station, a bbs or a node.
         ^
         ^    Just tell Winpack that your host mode is "Telnet" and delete 
         ^    anY batch file etc references to it if need be.
         ^
         ^    Of course this assumes your resurrecting your old machine to
        ÜÛÜ   run an internet based bbs connection. 
       ÉÍÍÍÍ»
    ÉÍÍÊÍÍÍÍÊÍÍ» If this is the case then I really suggest the following:
    º          º
    º ÚßÄÄÄßß¿ º * Reinstall Winpack
    º ³    °°³ º * Forget about BPQ, tell Winpack to use TELNET host mode     

    º ³      ³ º * The above is found in OPTIONS >>> COMMS SETUP
    º ³IC-706³ º * Make a connection and download in an AUTO BBS session      
 
    º ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ º   a short bulletins list and at least one marked bulletin
    º          º * Then use OPTIONS >> BULLETINS COLUMNS setup to tell Winpack
 
    º          º   how to interpret the title, at field and all that stuff.
    º ÚßÄÄÄÄß¿ º * You have done a BBS.TXT script to connect to the BBS ?
    º ³  12V ³ º   * Don't worry, use of the delete key is not required ;-)
  Û º ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ º Û * Once you have got that lot set up it will pay you to use 
  ÛÄÐÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÐÄÛ   FILE >> SELECTION LIST EDITOR and add in the FROM field 
  Û              Û   the callsigns G4EBT,G0FTD and GM7HUD :-))

 
In all seriousness I hope this helps.

If in doubt you're welcome to ask any question, I'll try my best to help.
