o    UIview

o    APRSice

o    AGW Tracker

o    APRSplus    (It's igate functionality is still useful, even though it's 
mapping capability died with the end of Delorme Street Atlas 9.0 "Classic" in 
2001.)

All support  the use of AGWpe.  In turn, AGWpe can support any combination of 
up to 16 TNCs; either on actual physical COM ports or virtual COM ports from 
USB<-->serial dongles as long as they present a KISS-like interface, -or- one 
or more sound card "soft TNCs".

In the very near future, the APRS Messenger APRS-over-PSK63 sound card app will 
also support AGWpe.
