 Greetings Programmers,

	I have a question for the various system managers out there.  On your
 systems, what do you consider to be a reasonable limit to the PGFLQUOTA.  This
 is a parameter set for each account in Authorize.  The reason for the question
 is that currently we set it as 10,000;  but have been getting requests from
 faculty for much greater quotas.  I believe that 10,000 is the default 
 from DEC based on some set of assumptions that should result in reasonable 
 performance.  We are concerned about the implications of changing the 
 10,000 without first checking what others have done and under what conditions 
 and with what kinds of results.

 What is a reasonable default size; what happens if some people have much 
 larger quotas?  Where does overall system performance degrade?  What impact 
 does this have on your system, what other parameters must be increased to
 accomodate this (ie PAGEFILE) ???????

 Any help is greatly appreciated.  If enough requests warrant it, I will
 summarize to the Net.

 Thanx
