It seems that various groups are interested in larger uucp packet sizes.
PC-Pursuit people want higher throughput on their long delay links.  People
using ping pong 9600 bps modems (like the Courier HST) would benefit greatly
from 1 or 2k packets.

I've heard that there is some large packet support in HDB uucp.  Is it true
that a HDB <-> HDB connection can support large packets?  How are they
enabled?  What about BSD uucp?
