    CN> Is the developer (gsandner) in Fidonet?   
      
   Yes, he has a Point address, which is listed in the Z2 Pointlist. However,     
   he doesn't take an active part in Fido, he uses his Point address mainly     
   for testing purposes.   
      
    CN> If not, I suppose that the place to make suggestions is the SF repo.   
      
   Hmmm, that's the last place I would try to make contact!   
      
   FYI .....   
   The official support channel for CrossPoint and *ALL* of its major     
   derivatives is the Usenet newsgroup "de.comm.software.crosspoint".   
      
   The newsgroup is also "gated" to the following Google Group:   
   https://groups.google.com/g/de.comm.software.crosspoint   
      
   It is also gated via the Fido echo XPOINT, which originates from Tommi     
   Koivula's system(not sure which AKA he uses for this).   
      
   Take your pick :-)   
      
   Please note that somebody(not me) forwarded your original post to the     
   newsgroup on the same day that you posted it in here but so far, it has     
   received nil response.   
      
   See my netmail for the rest of my reply .....
