Thus spake Tim <timothy@ameritech.net>: >Thats rediculous. Now if you cant recieve multipart postings reliably >on this server. how in god's name are we suppose to get large >postings out? Dont you think that limit should be in the ballpark of >500k? For many years, the limit was 64K (16-bit unsigned integer). Usenet was designed in the days when a 500K article was unheard of. I don't think 256K is unreasonable at all. -- Doug Sewell (doug@cc.ysu.edu) (http://cc.ysu.edu/~doug/) E-mail advertisers: put me on your "don't call, don't e-mail" list.
