What is the size limit of the send/receive buffers?  I am trying to
send quite large packets, but anything over 1652 bytes does not get
sent.  I am working with a very large data set and need to send large
packets.  I am running PVM3.3.4 on HP 9000/735 workstations connected
with FDDI.

I found this problem when running on a single machine, meaning my pvm
machine was only one physical machine.  I have found no reference as
to having a limit to the packet size, but of course could be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
