   OK, let's try this again .....   
      
   Further to my two previous ramblings, I don't get the error message     
   that you're getting but I do get the lockup after a poll. Actually,     
   it's the dreaded endless loop rather than a lockup but I digress.   
      
   I'm hoping I've fixed this with a bit of a workaround .....   
      
   Even though FSXNet don't distribute diffs, I've added some "dummy"     
   data in the "Update file" and "Update archive" fields: FSXNET_D.###     
   and FSXNET_D.Z## respectively and this appears to have fixed it. To     
   test my workaround, I posted a test shot in FIDOTEST and there was no     
   lockup after the poll. Let's hope it doesn't lockup after this poll.   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
