I make that mistake regularly, unfortunately. G8BPQ is indeed John.

I'm sure he did a WinBPQ as I remember using it before my hard drive
crashed. However, I haven't yet found it again...
Certainly, there's some details about the API that the BPQ node
software produced. One site that Yahoo found for me is...
Q> http://lrs.uni-passau.de/support/doc/interrupt-57/ALPHA-G.HTM
...which details some of the software interrupt calls it presented in
DOS mode.
Here's a few others I noted from Yahoo's search results:
1. http://www.afthd.tu-darmstadt.de/~flexnet/ether.html
G8BPQ ethernet encapsulation driver. This is part of FlexNet,
and there is a Win95 (and presumably Win98 as well) version
of that, downloadable from...
http://www.afthd.tu-darmstadt.de/~flexnet/
2. http://hamgate1.sunyerie.edu/pktprogs.htm
1111101001 Packet Programs (according to Yahoo anyway). This
site lists some packet radio software, including WinPACK which
it describes as "a MS-WIndows based packet program".
3. http://www.f6fbb.org/doc/fbpq.htm
This is part of the web documentation for the F6FBB packet BBS
system, and includes the following comment: "If you are using
WinFBB together with BPQ code, you have to copy the files
BPQCODE.386 and BPQDLL.DLL to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
These files are normally included in the BPQ program pack."
4. http://home.texoma.net/~n5pvl/bpqether.htm
BPQ-ETHER and the Network box. This site gives details of how
its author configured BPQ on one machine running under MS-DOS
with all the ham radio stuff connected to it, and under Win95
on another box in his living room, talking to each other over
an ethernet link.
5. http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/Fcnc15.html
Abstracts of the proceedings of the 15th ARRL and TAPR
Digital Communications Conference, 20th September 1996:
Linking BPQ Switches via Ethernet.
6. ftp://kilroy.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/hamradio/G8BPQ
This is an AnonFTP directory that contains several versions of
the BPQ node software along with a serial port and modem
interface to use with it.
Best wishes from Riley.

includes separate sublists both for each kernel series, and for
each year of development.
