That sounds like a weird file system limitation. I think I've captured
more. I know that my actual capture sizes have gone pretty high before,
up into 10 GB range. (to me that's large)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/10/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">N Dugas</b> <<a href="mailto:normdugas@yahoo.ca">normdugas@yahoo.ca</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
