Dont you think that limit should be in the ballpark of : 500k? Why would you need to post anything over 270k?? That's gotta be around 100 pages of solid ASCII text.. if you really need to publish something longer than 100 pages, simply include the URL to a web page containing the full text of the article.. (though if it's 100 pages long you might want to index it and make a table of contents to make it easier to read through..) Now.. you aren't talking about binaries are you? Why the hell would you want to post binaries to a text based conferencing system? Put them on a web page and let people download them using FTP.. much more efficient. -- -------------------------- drsoran@seka.nacs.net Blinky lights are the essence of technology!
