|    Messages too long?    |

      Hello Jerry.              05 Feb 06 18:14, you wrote to All:               JS> Since I've been feeding from 1:106/1, I get some messages that Squish        JS> says are "too long." This gets the packet renamed as *.LNG and left in        JS> my Squish directory. I'm using BUFFERS LARGE.               JS> Any suggestions?              Find out what areas they are in. Reading into the thread I see stats echo       being mentioned. I see that two systems post large messages there. 229/2000       with messages around 400K+ and 123/500 with messages around 130K+. My node       does not split passthrough traffic but does split traffic originating from       itself. Its been many years since I ran squish but I recall even with 'large'       the message buffer is either 512K or 256K.              Some folks forget that others run software that might crash or not pass on       large messages. Even though many of us run systems capable of handling large       messages; all to often the software cannot or at least is not configured to do       so. At least squish is smart enough to skip them. I suspect there are       tossers that stop up completely when they encouter very large messages?              Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.              Matt              e-mail: matt [at] thunderdome.us | icq: 16568532 | yahoo: mbedynek              "to be loved is fortunate, but to be hated is to achieve distinction"              ---        * Origin: ..::[ high speed feeds - http://fido.thunderdome.us/ ]::..
