Somoene asked about 1k or so packets in kermit.  I asked Ted Medin about
that a few weeks ago -- he is only using single precision (8 bit)
arithmetic so the longest packet he can handle is roughly 250 bytes (I
forget exactly what the limit is.)  I think that's pretty good -- one of
the hosts I talk to (multics) won't handle anything longer than the
original short (94) packets -- so lets not look the gift horse in the
eye.
