Hello mark,

I read that Internet Rex is case sensitive with packet passwords.

I have always entered passwords in my own config in upper case.. maybe that's why I never saw any issues. I can enter the password in lower or mixed case if needed by a link but no one has ever asked me to do this.. so far.. ;)

 Ttyl :-),
