   The old stone age packet format doesn't support points so you and your boss   
   will want to stay away from those. I'd be surprised if that's the problem   
   though. If you and your boss are generating 2+ packets, or 2e you should be OK.   
      
   You can grab a packet inspector at Vertrauen and it'll tell you about the   
   packets that cause problems.
