    ->Both Andrea and Hector have said to me, right over the phone, that PXW   
    ->is done. It will never be upgraded and never again supported by them.   
    ->This does not sound good to me, but again, it is more along the way   
    ->Winserver is going, Not too much in the Fidonet or msg network way.   
    ->Mostly focusing on email stuff only. Including mailing lists etc. So one   
    ->never knows, but I don't think there is any plans beyond the PXW package   
    ->unless someone else writes it for network type messaging.   
      
   They probably think that BBSing is dead and that there is no more of a    
   hobbyist need for their product anymore so they effectively dropped the   
   product line.  Which is really sad, IMO, since I think PXWins could    
   end up being as good a product as WINS is.  Again, just my opinion.
