[drats_users] New Packet features in 0.3.3b1

[Scott Currie]

The computer at our EOC has been running AGWPE-Pro for many years now. I 
have Node software, RMS and a chat server all sharing the same TNC and 
all running concurrently. AGWPE has never failed.  I even test new 
software by pointing it to the EOC computer via a VPN. It has been very 
stable. I must admit, when I originally switched the EOC computer over 
to WinXP from Linux, I really expected to be re-booting on a regular 
basis, but this has not been the case. It is very rare that it needs any 
attention.

Are you running the "free" version, which has been unsupported for about 
a decade, or AGWPE-Pro?  I suspect the stability problems are due to 
hardware or software incompatibilities/conflicts.

It may be okay for a single station operating for short periods of time, but would not be suitable for the Ratflector end with a connection to a VHF Packet station.  Yes, direct to TNC would be preferred. I will enter a tracker item.  Thanks, Dan.
