   Sysop mode.  In Win98SE, using SAMBA provided network shares mapped to drive   
   letters (except for its own drive, in its own vBox... for a reason which   
   escapes me... ahh, just remembered: the Fidonet applications drive isn't   
   replicated on the Linux server).  SemPoint was used to this already on the old   
   Windows LAN, and could execute in WinXP or Win98 vBoxes.  The Linux shares   
   provided the same facilities mapped to the same drives.   
      
   SemPoint performed well.  The overall configuration is awkward to put it   
   mildly: SemPoint<->Win98SE<->LAN<->Linux<->.msg/JAM messagebase.  FMail   
   provides the tosser function on the Linux server, and is a partial Linux port   
   (Beta test - the configuration requires a Win32 util still).  I don't intend   
   to continue using SemPoint beyond simple tests.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
