Hello deon!

It's also very nice as a bulletin/announcement system. You can  
have a text file that it will send into an echo on any schedule  
that you like. I use that for the echo-ads for a few of the  
echos I moderate.  I also have the MOD_UPD files written and  
ready when I need to renew an echo according to fidonet's  
elistmaint requirements.

I see that telnet and modem are options in the Edit/Server/ 
Edit/Point screen.  Dunno why either modem or telnet would fail  
(since they predate binkp), but you could ask in the XPOINT  
echo addressed to the developer.  Maybe he could shed some  
light to that.

I also like OpneXP's support for PGP signing and decryption,  
and direct/crash netmail delivery.

PGP signing also works in echomail (which I will do for this  
message) although in echomail it's probably better NOT to sign  
anything officially so as to maintain plausible deniability! :D
