Hmmz.... The problem seems to be the modem at your work in that case.....

That is a problem that is in your tosser... Which tosser do you use? In
most tossers you can specify the largest message-size (I use IMAIL, the
base I use is squish, and a max size of 64k (The max IMAIL supports))

I have another question for you (Effectively for all, but who cares :) )

I use ALLFIX for file-echo, and all the files I hatch use long descriptions
with graphic characters. So when I choose '1 line longdesc' it gets into my
BBS totally messed up.... When I choose the other options, it's imported
this way:

So Maximus won't display this in a decent manner....

Do you know an other file-tagger I might use to display it how it should be
displayed?

If you have something yourself, would you like to send it per e-mail
(Rene-Bakker{at}hetnet.nl)

Thanx in advance! :)

 LH>   Nice talking with you.

Goodbye and see ya later Linda......
