   Hello Oli,   
      
    AI>> I've had issues with session passwords because folks has told me   
    AI>> to use a password (lower case) but they enter it in their setup   
    AI>> in upper case. That's a PITA.   
      
    Ol> And they were using the case sensitive tosser?   
      
   Not that I know of. I have never run into a case sensitive tosser, at least   
   not that I know of.   
      
   In the case of my own tosser HPT, I don't think it is case sensitive. It is   
   happy with upper, lower or mixed case. That's an assumption on my part I have   
   never tested. It's been my habit to enter passwords in upper case and that has   
   never caused problems or confusion, at least not for me.   
      
   If I enter a packet password in my config in mixed case it writes that   
   password in the .pkt in mixed case but I don't think it checks password case   
   senitively. Given a bit of spare time I am going to have to test that out to   
   be sure given what I have read in the last few days.. :)   
      
    Ttyl :-),
