Both hostsinfo or sortdataip.

I would say that 250 is generally a good default compromise.

However, we have a lot of "deeply qualified names" (about 40) for routers such as 

"mspd-54-glion-wap-br-12-omni-a.morespeed.net"  The wrapping of all these means that 
the report becomes very long.  This causes us a problem.  We prefer wide rather than 
long :-)

So is there some way we can specify the size as a value somewhere to override the 
default 250?

Which report?  hostsInfo.html???

In many of the reports, columns are limited to that size.

That particular report - hostsInfo.html - is especially ugly, since the
whole report is now about 1200 wide.

There is a method to the madness - using a fixed size means that the columns
(and thus the output) always look about the same...  Otherwise a single long
name makes the whole report look terrible.  And it would jump around each
time data changed.  250 is a compromise between wasting space if you mostly
have 'normal' names (www.abc.com) and not having enough for deeply qualified
names.

The problem is that there's no easy way to tell html to make the column at
least this wide, growable to this and then wrap after that.  It's either a
fixed size or at % or you leave it up to the browser.

Yeah you can do stuff like this with CSS2, but not all (most) of the
browsers used don't support that in a consistent way.
