   So, OpenXP must have created a "/FIDO/POINTS" area, yes?   
      
   Were your posts created with OpenXP, WinPoint or Thunderbird?   
      
    AA> What am I missing?   
      
   At this stage, I'm not sure.

   Neither does mine, therefore my "Upload packer" field is empty.   
      
    AA> Therefore, I used the "copy $PUFFER $UPFILL"   
      
   Nope .....   
      
   Press  in the "Upload packer" field and see what it says in the     
   "unpacked transfer (Fido/UUCP)" paragraph ;)   
      
    AA> and "copy $DOWNFILE $PUFFER" offerings.   
      
   That suggests that your uplink *sends* uncompressed echomail bundles.     
   Can you please confirm this(or otherwise) before we go any further,     
   thanks.   
      
   To be continued .....   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
