   It is normal to network drives to each other and cross OS boundaries.  In     
   an early home system, I ran a network share off an Ubuntu system and made     
   it available to the couple of WinXX pcs that I had at the time. I also     
   experimented with the share attached to one of the WinXX pcs and made it     
   avaiable for access from the Ubuntu pc.  Worked great.   
      
   Martin and I concluded that Sempoint's JAM support is broken.  Are you     
   absolutely sure your test message bases are JAM?  ..or did you just try     
   MSG for Sempoint testing?   
      
   I'm just wondering why JAM messagebases are cooperating for you, but not     
   for Martin and me.   
      
   Also, one of Martin's concerns was that it looks like Sempoint is adding     
   "garbage characters" near the Origin line.  You do not notice that in your     
   set up?   
      
   But.. if you are using Fmail, that might explain many differences. You're     
   the only one who reports using Fmail.  Maybe *that's* the difference?
