Regarding the crashing..  what Windows version are you using?

Regarding the packets, I hope you realilized that you CANNOT use Bluewave
packets in Sempoint and expect it to work.  You need to download standard
QWK packets only.

Then I would suggest Apoint.    This will allow you to use the simple
"fido-packet" method of sending and receiving echomail.  Apoint
is a "complete" echomail system with its own scanner, tosser, and
areafix.
