However, also to clarify some things. The segment buffer size should probably stay at 576. This is basically the size of packets used at the DECnet level, and I have some vague recollection that nodes should use the same size, or DECnet might fail. DECnet is not that clever about different sizes there. The buffer size on the other hand can be larger (modulo VMS bug that I mentioned a few days ago), but that would only be used by link layer protocols, like the routing information packets that are sent, for example. But if you are experimenting, please let me know if you figure something out. Positive or negative. Always good with more information.
