What's the length's upper limit of FTP, STMP return string? eg.: ftp> dir ... 226 Transfer complete. telnet localhost 25 220 bhtv-email-server ESMTP gruwo-mailer HELO localhost 250 have we met before? Maybe we can learn something from them? I don't have any reference handy at this moment. BTW, Character strings always remind me of sloppy coding, DoS attack. Then there's also internationalization issue. :-( -- budi
