   Hello all,   
      
   Just started following this echo, as I may have an interest in setting    
   up a point for reading mail.  I have a few questions, and apologize if    
   they've been asked before, which I'm sure they have...   
      
   1.  What pros/cons are there to using a Point, versus reading/writing    
   echomail directly on a BBS, or with an Offline Reader.  I operate a BBS,    
   and have used offline mail readers for years.  Just wondering how/if a    
   point would be "better" in some way.  What can it do for me that I can't    
   currently do with my OLR (MultiMail)?   
      
   2.  I'm interested (only) in software for Linux.  A glance through the    
   existing messages here would seem to indicate that 'OpenXP' is the point    
   software of choice.  Pretty much true?  Any alternatives to that?   
      
   Thanks for taking some time to provide me some info/advice, and I look    
   forward to participating here.
