   Unfortunetely, I had the impression that the tests showed that there is a lot   
   of sofware involved in the message transit that even has problems with message   
   lengths significantly below 64k. AFAIR we found a common software where 16K   
   already is the limit.    
      
    CN> Sorry, and thank you for your support.   
      
   Thanks for the clarification :)
