    MF>No support for USB printers.   
      
   I've included this in the table (I've allowed "wireless printers" to be     
   part of USB), and have applied a reference to the hack solution.   
      
      
    MF>[PROS]   
    MF>Automatic nodelist/pointlist updating.   
      
   That, I have noticed.  Very nice.  Once configured, never have to bother     
   with separate tasks like "compiling".   
      
      
    MF>Real-time language switching to/from English/German.   
      
   Really? WHERE is that?   
      
      
    MF>Multi-Quote replying.   
      
   What is so particular about that?   Is there a specific setting/config for     
   that?   
      
      
    MF>Twit filter.   
      
   Albiet, limited to "fully listed" or manually added names: "fname     
   lname@z:nnn/nnn.p"   
      
      
    MF>Show hex dumps of messages.   
      
   WHERE is that?   
      
      
    MF>Supports collection of identical echos from multiple Boss Nodes.   
      
   I bet you really like that, to compare feeds from multiple boss nodes?   
      
      
    MF>Fully integrated email/news clients(POP3, SMTP, NNTP, SSL/TLS, IPv4,   
    MF>IPv6)   
      
   That is rather cool.  Therefore, OXP could be a quite nice all-in-one kind     
   of solution for someone.  But personally, t-bird or similar Windows prog     
   is the better tool for email and nntp, IMHO.   ;)   
      
   Practically ALL of your PROs and CONs observations are now included in the     
   table:   
      
           https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/   
      
   Since the list was quite long, I grouped your submissions as per     
   "function" and separated the new groupings a bit for better readability.
