that's legal, the DAP spec says it means "unlimited".

I've been testing my changes to Tops-20 NFT
and ran into what what I thought were some perhaps interesting results, viz:
NFT>*i twonky*
Attempting connection to TWONKY:: [31.37]
Maximum buffer size: _0!_
Operating System: Tops-10, File System: Tops-10
DAP: 7.0, DECnet: _0.0_
NFT>*i ostara*
Attempting connection to OSTARA:: [31.15]
Maximum buffer size: 4096
Operating System: Ultrix-32, File System: _13 (Unknown)_
DAP: 7.0, DECnet: 1.0
Note that I am clipping the capability display for these examples. By
"interesting", I was surprised to find that Tops-10 is reporting a buffer size
of zero, but more by it reporting a DECnet version of 0.0.
That matches what I see from RSX. Tops-10 looks almost broken, if you as me. I suspect it
just wasn't developed and tested much in the latter days, compared to TOPS-20.
