Hi Jon (of 1:134/703),

Regarding the crashing..  what Windows version are you using?

Regarding the packets, I hope you realilized that you CANNOT use Bluewave 
packets in Sempoint and expect it to work.  You need to download standard QWK 
packets only.

Then I would suggest Apoint.    This will allow you to use the simple 
"fido-packet" method of sending and receiving echomail.  Apoint is a "complete" 
echomail system with its own scanner, tosser, and areafix.
