[Dxspider-support] BPQ nearly ready to be usable?

[Ron Stordahl]

I see you picked up on my comments on the AR-Cluster reflector regarding 
the forthcomming AGW compatible interface to BPQ32.  Unless there is 
some unexpected difficulty I should have a public beta ready in a few 
weeks at the most.  There is a new BPQ32 Yahoo Group I recently 
established...really as a place holder..so far there is no activity.  
The beta will be posted there when ready, although asking me will get 
you the beta.  Initially the documentation will be pretty scanty.  I 
don't have a lot of time to prepare it, initially all I will be able to 
do is something brief coupled with examples of how to use it with 
AR-Cluster, UIVIew32 and UI-DX bridge, however the intention is that it 
will be a drop in replacement for AGWPE in most cases meaning that 
applications which work with AGWPE will work without any changes with 
the new BPQ32 interface.  It will not support sound card modems directly 
however, but will require AGWPE's help to do so.

Now a question for Eric...will DXSpider and Xrouter run on the same 
machine?  I was under the impression that XRouter would have to run on a 
separate DOS box and be coupled to DXSpider perhaps by some cable or 
perhaps ethernet.  I did bring up Xrouter on a DOS box a few months ago, 
but otherwise my experience is rather limited with it.

Dirk....does DXSpider currently run with the BPQ32 OCX interface?  And 
if so does it write the path to the BPQ32 configuration files into the 
registry?  If so there will be come complications.
