Here's an extract from my CrossPoint Page at http://www.bitzbox.org

---------- 8< ----------
CrossPoint is a text-based 'Universal' Point program available for DOS, Windows,
Linux and FreeBSD. It is universal in the sense that it supports many different
mail networks including FidoNet and several German-specific networks which
include Z-Netz and MausNet. With the exception of the DOS version, the 32bit
versions also have built-in support for POP3, SMTP, NNTP and Fido-over-IP but
the 16bit versions do not. The 16bit versions do, however, have built-in  
support for third-party mail/news clients making it easy to 'bolt-on'  
POP3, SMTP and NNTP. A third-party Fido-over-IP add-on is also available  
which eases the implementation of BinkD. At this time, there are 3  
distinct 'flavours' of CrossPoint publicly available:

- FreeXP (DOS 16-bit) - currently in development and stands at v3.40.RC3
  (http://www.freexp.co.uk)

- OpenXP (DOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD 32-bit) - current development is     
  questionable but the current version stands at v3.8.15-91 beta
  (http://www.openxp.com)

- XP2 (DOS 16-bit) - currently not being developed and stands at v3.30.pre7
  (http://xp2.doskey.de)

All versions of CrossPoint are based on Peter Mandrella's CrossPoint v3.20  
and although he never released that particular version, he did release the  
Pascal source code in late December 1999.

Hope that answers your question :-)
