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.
