Hello Oli,

 AI>> I've had issues with session passwords because folks has told me
 AI>> to use a password (lower case) but they enter it in their setup
 AI>> in upper case. That's a PITA.

 Ol> And they were using the case sensitive tosser?

Not that I know of. I have never run into a case sensitive tosser, at least not that I know of.

In the case of my own tosser HPT, I don't think it is case sensitive. It is happy with upper, lower or mixed case. That's an assumption on my part I have never tested. It's been my habit to enter passwords in upper case and that has never caused problems or confusion, at least not for me.

If I enter a packet password in my config in mixed case it writes that password in the .pkt in mixed case but I don't think it checks password case senitively. Given a bit of spare time I am going to have to test that out to be sure given what I have read in the last few days.. :)

 Ttyl :-),
