I would like to see BPQ's BEHAVIOR reproduced in the Linux nodes.
I have not been able to replicate such connects since I moved to
Linux.

I am running a "pseudo BPQ" set up, even when I do not understand
fully the reasons for installing several nodes, and I would really
like to understand WHY it must be that way with Linux. I copied it,
it does work, in spite I don't understand all the reasons involved,
but I don't feel comfortable that way. Could someone enligthen me on
this matter ?

Keep up the good work !

PS: I am running FBB, JNOS and DXNET along with a linux node. I am
trying to mimic an old MSDOS setup that worked fairly well under
DesqView. I have gotten fairly close, but it is not exactly the
same...and the users were used to access to services THAT way.
