BPQ32 on Windows 10 64bit

Chris Lance WW2BSA Member Profile All Messages By This Member #43865 Hello All, I searched the group messages but before I commit myself, I wanted to ask the members if they think I'm going to encounter any problems installing BPQ32 on a Dell Optoplex 360 running windows 10. ? This computer model has a PCIXpress slot that will allow me to install a DIEWU multi I/O controller card (Model AX99100),? yielding 4 ports. That would be cool... ? Any and all comments appreciated. ? 73 de Chris Ww2bsa

I also use the same pc to host a file share for a vehicle maintenance record program I use, only because I’ve been too lazy to move it back to my file server.? 73 de Ted N3UP Sysop N3IP node/bbs toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Apr 29, 2025, at 23:55, Chris Lance WW2BSA <Ww2bsa@...> wrote: ?

Chris Lance WW2BSA Member Profile All Messages By This Member #43872 Thanks for the response, Ted. Very encouraging. ? I must ask though, how are you connecting the NinoTNC on USB to your computer? Are you using a RS-232 to USB converter? And more importantly, how are you addressing the USB port in the bpq.cfg file? I'm only familiar with the TYPE=ASYNC command that I use with my existing node with a KPC-3+ in KISS mode with a RS-232 cable.? ?

Mark Phillips All Messages By This Member #43873 Chris, The NinoTNC is a USB based device. It uses a USB-Serial converter chip right on board the modem. You can pull that out and talk "proper" serial if you want but nobody does.

Chris Lance WW2BSA Member Profile All Messages By This Member #43879 Thanks for the reply, Ted. This is what I was looking for.? I hate reinventing the wheel and your example will be a good template to keep. 73 de Chris ww2bsa toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 04/30/2025 11:44 PM EDT n3up via groups.io <n3up@...> wrote: ? ?
