Hello Martin,

Nevermind.  Apparently I don't know what I was talking about!  :(

Hmmm.. Methinks that 5D is a good thing.  Isn't 5D supposed to be an 
improvement?   

The Extra/Options/Uplinks:FidostyleUplinks seems to be the item  intended for 
the part after the @.  Maybe it is also a way to differentiate from othernets?

Sounds like WinPoint needs a compatibility list, or a warning that it is a 
truly 5D system.
