Point taken... I got a MicroTek E3 here to play around with since so<br>
many folks seem to like them. They are indeed cheap, but I really am<br>

Back when I was trying to solve that problem, I was actually going to write<br>
code to try to look in the kernel source directories and see. You can also<br>
take the easy way out and default to 32K unless the user says they've<br>
increased it (X resource, env variable, etc)... The ultimate way<br>
would be to read the kernel, but...<br>
