    Do we maintain a list of what Point software currently works?

    There is a list of FidoNet Software in the weekly FidoNews magazine, published in the echo of the same name.
    Appreciate that reminder, though we have to remember much of that list is historic and other than building a retro-setup, not current.
    Are there how-to guides we can coach someone as they work through?

    I don't operate a point, but I know there is product-specific documentation for all of the well-known packages.
    Ummm... not always and again much documentation and even YouTubes are woefully out of date.
    When I set up my first personal mailer the documentation was arguably better, and that was in the 1980's.
    Two that I know of offhand are WinPoint and OpenXP.
    Wondering if some of the BBS packages also fuction well in a Point use case?
    Appreciate the reply!
    All best!
