    From Mike Dippel@3:712/1321.5 to ALL on Sun Apr 12 22:23:22 2026
    I am thinking of subscribing to the AUP. My current version is 4.15.219.30 I also have
    PXW as well.

    Is the update worth it. Is it a seamless upgrade that won't kill my current system? I don't
    want to encounter any issues.

    I would suggest you wait awhile as PXW still has some issues to work out.

    I am mostly content, because it was a better version of 8.0.16.

    There are few issues with PXW to be fixed, but if folks want to help with the betas then it helps make it better.

    yeah, i'm having ssues with pxw 10, like downlinks not getting what
    they expect, ie no responses to areafix requests for example. between
    that and pxw not saying my netmail conference doesnt exist, which it
    does and claiming my Z!PX Z!LASTREAD user does not exist, which it
    does.

    Quite frankly, Ithink that claude ai bot is a worthless piece of crap.

    If you test pxw/10 you can get to be a node on pxnet. Like me and others.

    The file base improvements and the qwk networking fixes made the
    investment worthy for the time being :)

    There is a long way to go to get PXW 100%.

    Hector has been quite responsive getting fixes out once he knows tthe issue.

    For most users, dealing with various issues is not good for them so waiting awhile makes sense.
