YTNC is a "backend" for the G8BPQ switch.
It works in a similar manner to, and has the same command line
arguments as the G8BPQ supplied equivalent BPQHTNC2.
YTNC <number of COM ports> <first COM port> <first BPQ host port>
Examples:
YTNC 25 1 1
Create 25 COM ports numbered COM1 through COM25, using the first 25 host ports.
YTNC 3 12 19
Create 3 COM ports numbered COM12 through COM14, using host ports 19 - 21.
YTNC does not support unproto or monitoring, and has a minimal command set:
CONVerse - Change stream to Converse mode.
