   Got it.  But if some uplink systems balk at that, then Winpoint is basically   
   incompatible with those systems.  A list of those might be worth mentioning   
   for the experimenting Winpoint user.  No?

   Ah.. Pretty much the same as above.  But a general "user" (no sysop   
   experience) may not understand the technical nature of the matter. Maybe add   
   the systems you tested it with (and failed with) as examples.
