Appreciate that reminder, though we have to remember much of that list is historic and other than building a retro-setup, not current.

Ummm... not always and again much documentation and even YouTubes are woefully out of date.  

When I set up my first personal mailer the documentation was arguably better, and that was in the 1980's.

Wondering if some of the BBS packages also fuction well in a Point use case?

Appreciate the reply!

All best!
