Does anyone know what the relationship is between the  interval 
{ retry interval} and count { retry count} fields of PLookupName's 
MPPParamBlock  with respect to the number of entities in a LocalTalk network.

In other words, what are the minimum values for those fields sufficient
enough to search a network of lets say 256 entities.

Is there a formula to calculate the minimum values of those fields
for a given number of N network entities?

thanks,

george domenikos
