Hello mark,

I read that Internet Rex is case sensitive with packet passwords.
I have always entered passwords in my own config in upper case.. maybe that's
why I never saw any issues. I can enter the password in lower or mixed case if
needed by a link but no one has ever asked me to do this.. so far.. ;)
Ttyl :-),
