I'm having the same symptoms as Brian running a similar setup. But..... I only
downloaded www131 at about five this morning and had a quick scan through the
instructions. I then just copied the new Cab files (app,ovl,rsc) into my old
setup. I edited default config to up ALLOCMEM to 210000 and bunged in me email
address and SMTP_HOST thingy. What's this about an editor? Do I need to define a
path to an editor in Default.cfg? What editor should I be using? I don't
remember seeing anything about it in the instructions, but then again I was half
asleep :-)  I suppose I should sit down and check everything out but any
guidance would be appreciated.

BTW I want to run my serial port at 38400. I've got the info on a mod that does
it with just one LS74 chip. Do I need to use HSmodem and if so how do I get the
MFP setup progie to alias the buad rate at 110 or whatever? (I wish I'd paid
attention at German lessons).

Exhausted but not entirely disheartened, Gaz.
