The first thing that came to mind was the ULIMIT tuning, but why does
it state that this is a problem so explictly in the manual
(installation guide - if memory serves). Has anyone actually tries
this.

On a related note - I am about to try V.4 to replace Interactive
3.2... so uucp files are important (I do REGULARLY move files > 2MB
over a PEP link). Also, any problems with C-News, MMDF etc ? I know
there are groups for this - but as a slightly related topic I thought
I would ask.

Regards,
