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: SemPointWin98SELANLinux.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.
