Hello Warren,

1. Flexnet node have NO any rejects with number of links.
2. I can also use it as digi when I type in TNC "cmd :" promt "C <call> v
<nodecall>" and it will retransmit my packets on this or other freq. I also
can use my one destination path, or path that node know...
Yes. TNC can work without computer on. But I am using Baycom modem and it
always must work with computer on. Computer will be as a TNC. It is also true
when I using Sound Blaster as a modem.
73!
