+====== Intro ======
+Paracon is a command-line interface for packet radio operation.
+Development: https://github.com/mfncooper/paracon
+====== Connection to Local Network BPQ Node ======
-===== Connection to Local Network BPQ Node =====
 Paracon can be used as an interface to your BPQ node as a command-line replacement for GUI terminals like [[QtTermTCP]].
+You can also connect directly to direwolf via AGW and skip BPQ, but note that you may need to recompile direwolf to allow more than 3 AGW connections at a time.
 Example use case: You typically use QtTermTCP from your computer at home, but you are in another location and want to check your home BBS for messages over the Internet. You have Paracon installed on a machine on your local network that is accessible via SSH.
-==== Steps ====
+===== Steps =====
+**Important Note**
+If you installed linbpq following the tutorials provided by FARPN, you might need to update your linbpq version before Paracon will work for you.
 You need to set up AGWPORT in the bpq32.cfg file (example based on [[https://packet-radio.net/bpq32-cfg-example-pi1bdgpi8bdg/|packet-radio.net]])
