No. I use OpenXP (my point prog) for echos that I feel that I would want to
participate more often.
I use the nntp-method from (2:221/1) just to check out content and lurk for a
while. (I wouldn't mind using nntp from trmb, but the login simply stopped
working)
I use the webified interface (trmb.ca/bbbs) when am not not at my usual pc and
if I just want to check on the status of messages in familiar echos. The latter
seems to have issues, so I try to avoid it.
I played with QWK for a while. But the doing the telnet connection to the bbs,
navigating through the menus and triggering a download and the reverse process
to upload started to get tedious for me.
I still keep Sempoint in my back pocket though:
