I have seen references to EIGRP hop count limits before. As I mentioned in my first post, that seems related to Appletalk and IPX support. However, a 'sh ip prot' will indeed produce a line that stated "EIGRP maximum hopcount 100." Thus far, I haven't been able to find a command to change that value. Interesting.
