Hello All!

I keep getting errors about messages that are too big, is there anyway to tell FE to toss it regardless of size

What settings do you have for:

FeSetup-->System-->Parameters-->Message buffer size
FeSetup-->System-->Advanced options-->Toss buffers

I have my 'buffer size' set for "512"(k), even though I'm using the DOS version
and have used it for over 11 years - mind you, I don't know if FE is using that
much. The 'toss buffers' is set to "Large".

I think the largest message in the JAMbase is the 50-odd kbytes worth of the binkD FAQ. There may be larger ones in areas I don't read.

How large a message are you trying to process?

Cheers,
Paul.

Geeze mate, take a happy pill and relax. ;-)

When was the last time you resized the FE config? I've seen some pretty damned
weird stuff when mine was out of kilter at times. (One beauty was an upgrade's
FeSetup wouldn't bloody run at all. That one took a while to figure out, till I did a resize.)

Check pages 8 through 10 in the dox. I did a resize a few months back to accept the full WWB distro. Here's the syntax for FeSetup:

-R<n>,<a> Resize your current configuration with a new
maximum of <n> Node and <a> Area

Yours and Sean's problem must be originating from one or more othernets' traffic. Maybe?

Cheers,
Paul.

This deals only with maximum Node and Area records and has nothing to do with maximum message size. This problem has no solution until someone will get FE source code and remove this limitation. By the way, maximum message buffer size
for non OS/2 versions is 64kb and it is better to set it to 60kb because of some bug in FE that could lead to GPF.

Have now that you pointed it out, I am sure I have done this (in the distant past) but I frget what settings were used, it is likely that my area numbers have increased beyond the number I specified back then, although the nodes will
have shrunk, we will see how that goes. I thought the nodes & areas would have only have effected the number of nodes and areas that could be configured, but then I wonder about what happens with auto-create areas.... mmmm

I know this. :) But it's one of those conditions that can creep up on a sysop
without warning. It's best to make sure the basic configuration file is 'sound' before attempting further fixes, I think.

This problem has no solution until someone will get FE source code and remove this limitation. By the way, maximum message buffer size for
non OS/2 versions is 64kb and it is better to set it to 60kb because
of some bug in FE that could lead to GPF.

Really!?! :) I don't recall FE ever causing a GPF. Usually it was me doing stupid things because of inadequate hardware to run Windows in the first place,
and basically affected mailers and BBS programs.

I just checked an old config file's buffer size and can verify I've had mine set for 512k for almost exactly the last 6 years - it's dated 22/3/2000.

Cheers,
Paul.

P.S. How is the weather in St Petersburg? (It's a cool +25C here.)

Yeah, that's the sort of thing that happened with my config. (Yesterday everything is hunky-dory; the next it goes arse-up, surprisingly... sort of thing.) It just sneaks up on you.

It's sure worth a try.

Absolutely.

I don't know why but I can't ever remember trying any version of FE besides the
basic DOS flavour.[shrug] I was never a major mail mover, even in the good ol'
days (94-98), so I didn't really have any *motivation* to change. I have only just late last year enabled all the Fido echoes that I can get from Rick and FE
just keeps pumpin' the messages through without blinking.

I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Paul.

I "just" deleted one, darn, next one I'll look closer, it is usually system stats messages and the like, in different areas.

Yes. I experienced this myself.

You can set it to 512, but FE will use maximum of 64k. Check out help topic on message buffer size.

=== Starting Windows Clipboard ===
It's recommended to use a buffer as large as possible
(DOS: max. 64kB, OS/2: max. 512kB), and only to make it
smaller if your computer is short on memory.
=== End of Windows Clipboard ===

FeSetup program is universal for all versions and doesn't check on which OS it is running. That's why you can set 512k for DOS version.

I know this. I'm an optimistic pessimist. That way I'm not disappointed when things turn to *shit*, and not overjoyed when things run smoothly. =B^)

=== Starting Windows Clipboard === It's recommended to use a
buffer as large as possible (DOS: max. 64kB, OS/2: max. 512kB), and
only to make it smaller if your computer is short on memory.
=== End of Windows Clipboard ===

You just illustrated my point. I set it for 512, since the dox say "My only suggestion is to use a buffer as large as possible, reducing it only in case you notice that your computer is short on memory." So, I did! And haven't noticed any ill effects since. :)

FeSetup program is universal for all versions and doesn't check on
which OS it is running. That's why you can set 512k for DOS version.

Maybe it doesn't 'check on which OS', but it certainly does report it.

By the way, not all FeSetup.Exe programs are equal. I know of one significant difference between v1.45 versus v1.46 setups, in that the 1.46 setup will not accept the "$" (the dollar sign, in case of some codepage problem in your editor) to indicate DOS environment variable references for directory "path" settings. I had to FREQ to a site in central U.S.A. via modem once to get the old 1.45 setup version, to fix my 1.46 config's paths at the time.

Cheers,
Paul.

Originating from 2:230/150? Yep, I get the same error(s) here all the time. I
just 'live with it', as I think the problem stems from the FE executable (plain

I often toy with the idea of unlinking the echo but, then, lethargy kicks in.

there is a buffer setting in FE that can be adjusted... i know the OS/2 flavor has the largest available buffer but i'm not sure what it is... the DOS flavor has the smallest buffer... if there's a windows flavor, it should be in the middle or as much as the OS/2 flavor...

Hello mark.

18 Mar 11 13:29, you wrote to me:

I get the odd message from HPT systems in echos and FE says the
message is too big to process. Is there anyway around this

what OS? ;)

I am using Winders Vista :) Thanks for any help that you can
bring to bear

there is a buffer setting in FE that can be adjusted... i know the
OS/2 flavor has the largest available buffer but i'm not sure what it is... the DOS flavor has the smallest buffer... if there's a windows flavor, it should be in the middle or as much as the OS/2 flavor...

It was to the default 0, so boosted it and so far no problems :) thanks

Sean
