No problem at all. The download was slow - compared to what I usually get -
but that was no problem. I know you have no wide band yet.

Well I have set it aside for the moment as I ran into another problem.
Fmail erratically refused to update the message base when tossing mail.
Mail to the downlinks was passed on allrght, but it didn''t always appear
in my message base.

I found a zero lenght file MBUNLOCK.NOW in the Hudson directory, never seen
that before. Agfter deleting it and packing with Ftools, Fmail would
properly run again. But then the next run the semaphore was there again.

So I stopped using FM for a while and went back to the old editor. I had
also changed Fmail and Ftools from the DOS versions to the Windows versions
not long ago and I needed to eliminate that too as source of the problem.

Everything seesm to be back to normal now.

Or perhaps I could RTFM. ;-)
