Just downloaded and tried this program.    It seems to need exclusive 
access to the TNC, and cannot be used while other programs like UIview 
or Network Analysis are running.   

Would it be possible to modify the program to support the AGW Packet 
Engine?   

With AGW as a middle-man between the TNC and applications, it is 
possible for any number of programs to share TNC access 
simultaneously.    Not to mention that the sound-card virtual TNC 
function of AGW can avoid the need for a conventional TNC completely!


Have you looked at UI-Instant Messenger?

This application looks EXTREMELY similar to yours but DOES support AGWpe.
