MVL> Maximum message size: 63k (16 bit), 256k (32 bit)
PL> I've been wondering for long time about the message size as well. I

PL> (I think in the STATS echo) that are big and renames the .pkt files
PL> to *.LNG.
PL> I've looked around before and never found any way to deal with

shirley, you jest! ;)
there is the packet split stuff... there's a fido technical document about the
split proposal to break messages up into smaller units but my bitch about it
is/was that it puts the onus on the feeder instead of the feedee with the size
problems...
i'm thinking that the pktsort package does the split stuff as well as sorting
messages in the pkts together by area name which also helps tossing to go
faster...
if you can't find a copy, let me know and i'll give you some more info ;)
