Nope. Squish will only "know" what is in the Squish.cfg when you initially 
set up an area. After that, it don't know squat if you change the config...

That's a good idea...sorta.... :) Or, you can just set REALLY high limits 
(like 2000 messages or 10 days or something...) and then if you find it's a 
slow echo, just reduce the # of messages, etc...

Yeah...someone wrote a nice little 4DOS btm file to sniff out and fix bad 
areas. I do this nightly... :) If you're interested, I'll email it to 
ya...but you really need to be running 4dos (a command.com replacement...)
