Hello Alan,

Assuming you are asking about Winpoint, to add another "net", start in:

Extras/Options/Uplinks

or..

Just press /Uplinks to get there a little quicker.

You should see a "Fidostyle Uplinks" with a "fidonet" already in there.  Just
ADD Scinet and fill in the particulars.

Then, in "Systems" in the lower half of the window, ADD the boss system and
details particular to Scinet.

Huh?

You may as well settle with Winpoint for a while (or at least until you
discover some of its shortcomings! LOL)  Wait until you start delving into
modifying the templates!  You may find some extra tips in the PROS/CONS table
that I pointed out earlier.

Winpoint is quite fine for basic FTN use.  I was almost convinced myself that I
was going to stick with it.  

Apparently it can also be configured for UUCP ngs.

The GUI is quite modern looking.  The fonts can be adjusted.  But I have
settled with the console-look and darker theme of OpenXP.  Some behaviour of
Winpoint's editor started to bother me too - such as when deleting a line. I
think you may discover that for yourself rather than me trying to describe it.

Winpoint was poised to be a fine contender. Too bad it is nolonger supported.
Some sections require knowledge of German.
