  TCP/IP and large (64KB+) $qio transfers? 
 The Question is:
 
Im using TCP/IP Services V5.4 ECO 1.
I want to send big chunks of data from OpenVMS to a PC.
 
What is the upper limit of a TCP/IP packet I can send using the $QIO service?
 
IO$_WRITEVBLK using p1/p2 seems to have an upper limit of around 65000!? I have
 tried to use the p5 with a descriptor for the data to send and still gets
 IVBUFLEN when trying to send large packets (&gt;200KB). Even if I split t
 package into several smalle
r described in a descriptor-list I get the same error...
Have I missed something fundamentally??
 
I can't find any examples that sends large packets of data! Is there any such
 examples??

 The Answer is :
 
  $qio transfers with BG devices is limited to 64 kilobytes in V5.4.
 
  There are plans to increase the largest permissible transfer size
  in an unspecified future release of TCP/IP Services after V5.4.
