    Yes it does. Here is a clip from one of my logs:

    Unfortunately, it just reports what the other side offers. It is not using it.

    I had no idea what this was until I stumbled upon it one day. Added it to the Renegade BBS home page bbs utils links.

    Can this be used like InternetREX? Toss mail via binkp and let everything else do the tossing and such and be nothing more than a transport and a node catch?

    If I remember right, it isn't a "server", but it will poll another system for mail via binkp and other methods. So I'd imagine you could probably set it up as a PVT node if you didn't care to use it as a point.

    Then again, I could be confusing this with OpenXP, which is similar and also includes NNTP support.

    I installed both around the same time to check them out. I just didn't have a long term use for them. The main differences I noticed that pertained to my interest were that OpenXP has NNTP support, Winpoint doesn't.. and Winpoint has much better UTF-8 support. *shrug*

    Both of them performed well in their own regard, though.
