   Hello Martin,   
      
   On 26.03.19, you wrote to August Abolins:

   Nevermind.  Apparently I don't know what I was talking about!  :(

   Hmmm.. Methinks that 5D is a good thing.  Isn't 5D supposed to be an   
   improvement?      
      
   The Extra/Options/Uplinks:FidostyleUplinks seems to be the item  intended for   
   the part after the @.  Maybe it is also a way to differentiate from othernets?

   Sounds like WinPoint needs a compatibility list, or a warning that it is a   
   truly 5D system.
