Same here, I'm using OpenXP via SSH on one of my servers because I prefer  
its ease of use.
I think it is a little easier to handle compared to binkd/hpt/golded as it  
is menu-driven rather than config-file-driven.

So, if someone just wants to be part of the message networks, OpenXP is a  
fine solution and easier than binkd/hpt/golded or a complete BBS package.  
And it is more comfortable than QWK/MultiMail IMHO.

Anna
