Erlang limits

[Peter Eis]

Hello,

I've read that it should be possible to increase the maximum number of 
nodes in an Erlang network. We have found some source files where the 
limit of 256 nodes is defined and tried to compile the sources but it 
didn't work.
As we are planning to create an application where it it most likely that 
we will have more than 256 nodes connected to each other this is a 
serious problem for us.
I'd very much appreciate if someone could give me a hint how to solve 
this problem.

Thanks,
Peter
