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?                     MF>> I'm not so sure about a compatibility list but I'd already       MF>> planned on adding a warning about this somewhere in my revised       MF>> Guide that I'm working on.              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.              ???              .../|ug              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 19/10 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/17 229/107       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/624       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
