Re: Ping Packagers

[Brian Kroth]

To Dustin/Sadrul:

So long as we're considering some changes, can I petition to have the
default MAXWIN increased from 40 to 99 (or higher)?

We have a screenrc for our ssh bastion host that sets up >40 ssh
sessions by default and we always end up recompiling screen to support
this.

Thanks,
Brian
