   For an interesting comparison, take a look a SemPoint (SP) and be prepared    
   to be amazed. SP, in its last interation, has been released as freeware.    
   I used it for quite a while many years ago and found absolutely nothing    
   wrong with it.   
      
   But, SP needs a tosser/scanner (Fmail, FastEcho), and it needs a way to    
   deliver the packets via tcp/ip (Binkd ?)   
      
   The context senstive help is very comprehensive.
