AGWPE-compatible Programs

The chart below shows some of the programs and utilities that will work with AGWPE. In addition, the AGWPE site has information about a few other programs. Click on the "AGWPE configuration help" next to a program for additional help on this web site. Otherwise, visit the program's web site listed in the last column.

If you're having trouble getting a particular application to work with AGWPE, first make sure AGWPE works with the AGW Terminal Program . If AGWTerm won't work with AGWPE, then you have a problem with AGWPE that needs to be resolved before it will work with the other program; see the troubleshooting guide.

Type	Name	Help configuring with AGWPE
AGWPE Interfaces	AXIP	link AGW Packet Engines and other applications together via TCP/IP see http://www.qsl.net/lu7did/ and http://www.qsl.net/lu7did/bin/axipdrv/axipdrv.txt See this page for Keith G1GXB's description of how to use AXIP to link to X-router
	KISS-Mode TNC Emulator	interface WiSP, JNOS or other KISS-mode programs and MixW to AGWPE see http://www.pearsoncomputing.net

	HW VSP	http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html is a software driver that adds a virtual serial port (e.g. COM27) to the operating system and redirects the data from this port via a TCP/IP network to another hardware interface, which is specified by its IP address and port number. Untested with AGWPE, but seems like it might act as a serial port bridge to link a non-compatible packet program to AGWPE.
