   NNTP is my "Go To" or "fallback" option.  In the resent few days when I   
   started to experience lockups and a couple of other issues with OXP when it   
   would not toss the .PKTs, firing up Thunderbird and using NNTP allows me to   
   catch up with missing echomail.   
      
   NNTP is a very fine solution for accessing echomail, but it does not add any   
   so called BBS-experience.   
      
   I must have used Sempoint only briefly in Win-DOS mode on my OS/2. Because, I   
   eventually discovered Fleetstreet reader for offline reading and stuck with   
   that. FleetStreet was very fine.
