Offhand... and I could be wrong... AdeptXBBS Gatekeeper, TBBS/Flame, Gecho 
1.20/Pro... Possibly Viamail. I'm sure there are others. I had a downlink 
years ago who specifically needed a mixed-case password.

If two Sysops cannot troubleshoot packet-password problems then thats not a 
tosser problem. Just remove whatever uppercase-parse code in Fmail, be done.
