The CREN 'official' (honored more often in the breach) size limit just increased (Jan 1) to one MByte. It will soon increase to 3 MBytes. Large hosts already consider T1 connections to be 'slow' ;-) Planners have already proposed a terabit (1000 gigabits) backbone for the first decade of the next century. I guess they're anticipating Microsoft's Word 10 which (at the present rate of expansion) will require a gigabyte of memory and 5 gigabytes of disk space ;-) /s Murph Sewall <[log in to unmask]>
