does AGW work with DRSI cards at all?

Charlie K1XX has asked for a BPQ interface largely because he can't get
AGW working with DRSI cards. 

Unfortunately I just got the software part working. I didn't have any
hardware to test it with. 

One thing I would say is that you need to check your AGW config allows
connects from the external network interface and AFAIK it also requires
a login/password. You need to set that up correctly in the local copy of
AGWConnect.pm. 

You can see how well spider is talking to your AGW by doing a:

set/debug agw

(and get back to normal with 'unset/debug agw')

This can produce quite a bit of output BTW.
