Try

	echo "maxmem/D" | awk /unix /dev/kmem

for maximum user memory, or

	echo "physmem/D" | awk /unix /dev/kmem

for physical memory.  Multiply this number by the clicksize (1024 I
think, look in /usr/include/sys/param.h for NBPC) (Tower 32/800; don't
know about other models).

This is the test used by the compress software to detemine how much
memory it can use.
