    Hi,

    Is it possible for me to poll FSXnet or any other non-fidonet network with Winpoint?

    Unless there is a rule against it in the particular othernet in question,
    all you would probably need would be a sysop willing to set you up as a non-fidonet point on their othernet system.

    A few othernets may not allow points, and a few may require that you apply before you are allowed to pull their echos. As best as I can tell, FSX is pretty open in that regard.

    Of course. Winpoint just needs the IP address of the system
    you want.
