This could be a big shot in the arm for Windows users. It may also be
useful for Linux users that have a spare Windows box for doing ax25
stuff because they do like / can't be bothered with Linux ax25 support.

If I read the documentation on the above website correctly (using the
UIView instructions as a guide) then all you need to do to use this
instead of AGWPE is to change '$port' in your local AGWConnect.pm from
8000 to 8001.

Obviously you will need to install and configure the package first.

Can I remind you also that you don't need to run AGWPE or BPQ on the
same machine as the node. If you want to use a different machine, change
'$addr' in your local AGWConnect.pm to the (valid) dns name or IP
address of the machine running AGWPE or BPQ.
