You can set the MTU (maximum transfer unit) for that interface. You do with with ifconfig under un*x - I expect windows has an interface to do it too (perhaps ipconfig?) For ethernet the MTU is 1500 bytes normally. > If you really do want control over packet size, you'll have to > use a raw socket and impliment TCP yourself. Actually I'd recommend the OP uses UDP, not TCP. I've implemented a few systems which speak UDP directly and its very easy. I wouldn't like to implement TCP though! -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
