   Hello mark,   
      
    AI>> In all my experience packet, areafix and filefix passwords have   
    AI>> been case insensitive.   
      
    ml> this is because traditionally, all FTN software uppercased everything   
    ml> ;)   
      
   I read that Internet Rex is case sensitive with packet passwords.   
      
   I have always entered passwords in my own config in upper case.. maybe that's   
   why I never saw any issues. I can enter the password in lower or mixed case if   
   needed by a link but no one has ever asked me to do this.. so far.. ;)   
      
    Ttyl :-),
