Unfortunetely, I had the impression that the tests showed that there is a lot
of sofware involved in the message transit that even has problems with message
lengths significantly below 64k. AFAIR we found a common software where 16K
already is the limit. 

 CN> Sorry, and thank you for your support.

Thanks for the clarification :)
