Well, I'm siting here looking at a remote directory with 148 assorted
files and subdirectories, some with mapped names. I've tried DIR, LIST,
various NOrton gizmos, other PD directory listers, I've created, copied,
deleted files, etc. No 50 limit here. Yet you've both seen this?
More details via email, please.

BTW, one of our standard Connectathon tests creates and manipulates
huge trees, and as far as I know every DOS NFS client passes with
ease.
