Hi gang. Please send any response or comments to me OFF LIST.

Since we have a fair number of folks on this list who live off-grid, we also 
had several still stuck with dialup internet access. For them, getting large 
messages was a hassle. Last year I raised the message size limit to 100K, which 
is large enough to include viewable jpg graphics of about 75K, along with a 
reasonable amount of text.

About once a week, I end up working with folks who attempt to send messages 
that are larger than that.

But now I would like to get a handle on how many of us still have significant 
restrictions on data, so please let me know. 
1. For folks on dialup, file attachments can be a drag, time-wise.
2. For folks like me, whose home internet access is through cell technology, 
getting large files can end up being expensive, if their usage exceeds the 
limits of their phone plans.

Of course, there are work-arounds for these things, but for now I would like to 
hear from Wrench list members who are affected by large messages, to see if I 
can up the limits.
