Hi Paul,

You can't enter mixed or lowercase into the configuration program, only uppercase. And when someone updates the packet password through areafix it's converted to uppercase before storing in the configuration file. So on outgoing packet files the packet password is always uppercase only.

Bye, Wilfred.
