Regarding the crashing.. what Windows version are you using?
Regarding the packets, I hope you realilized that you CANNOT use Bluewave
packets in Sempoint and expect it to work. You need to download standard QWK
packets only.

Then I would suggest Apoint. This will allow you to use the simple
"fido-packet" method of sending and receiving echomail. Apoint is a "complete"
echomail system with its own scanner, tosser, and areafix.
