Hello Martin,

 MF>> - Adding an archiver to the list of archivers doesn't work
      
...haven't tried that, but maybe arrangements can be made with the Boss to send 
packets unpacked? Mine is configured *without* an archiver because my Boss 
assured me the message packets can be sent as-is.


 MF> Found some more :-(

 MF> - Doesn't seem capable of handling a multi-Point setup particularly
 MF> well. - Although the uninstaller appears to work, it doesn't actually do
 MF> anything.


Oh no.  You mean using the "mailboxen" added to the Poll list, but using a 
differnet "other:net/node.point"?

But if Winpoint can utilize a nodelist that uses zones 1,2,3,4 etc.  It ought 
to have no problem using the othernet numbers ..as long as they are combined 
into one big nodelist.  ???

Or.. were you just Polling direct after entering the othernet addresses?

I think Winpoint assumes just one fixed zone:net/node.point address for you, 
the user - based on the Setup process.  After this setup, there doesn't seem to 
be a way to change .point address later unless we go the Setup as if for the 
first time installation.

But, maybe you can work with multiple Winpoint installations - one for each 
othernet?
