Sysop mode.  In Win98SE, using SAMBA provided network shares mapped to drive 
letters (except for its own drive, in its own vBox... for a reason which 
escapes me... ahh, just remembered: the Fidonet applications drive isn't 
replicated on the Linux server).  SemPoint was used to this already on the old 
Windows LAN, and could execute in WinXP or Win98 vBoxes.  The Linux shares 
provided the same facilities mapped to the same drives.

SemPoint performed well.  The overall configuration is awkward to put it 
mildly: SemPoint<->Win98SE<->LAN<->Linux<->.msg/JAM messagebase.  FMail 
provides the tosser function on the Linux server, and is a partial Linux port 
(Beta test - the configuration requires a Win32 util still).  I don't intend to 
continue using SemPoint beyond simple tests.

Cheers,
Paul.
