Yes, both MSG and SMSG have length restrictions.  An MSG can be longer 
than an SMSG: MSG is around 229, SMSG (to send via RSCS) 132.  So, TELL to 
a local ystem can send longer commands than TELL to a remote system.

My RxServer package allows to create servers that can execute commands. It 
supports commands send in sections, what measn you can send it commands of 
any length.  this was required as we often send PIPE commands to these 
servers.  The DOME EXEC is what can be used to send commands to the 
servers and DOME knows how to segment long commands for our servers.
