       LIMITS.CTL    : This   file  allows  you  specify,  for each
                       security  level,  a daily time  limit,  file
                       download  limit  for  each  baud  rate,  and
                       optional  file ratios,  either in number  of
                       uploads to number of downloads,  or in total
                       kilobytes   uploaded   to  total   kilobytes
                       downloaded.  The  format of the file  is  as
                       follows:

       <Sec Lvl> <Time> <300> [1200] [2400] [4800] [9600]
         or:
       <Sec Lvl> <Time> <300> <1200> <2400> <4800> <9600> <R#> [RK]

                       Where  <Sec  Lvl>  is  the  security  level,
                       <Time>  is  the daily time limit,  <300>  to
                       <9600>   are  respective   download   limits
                       depending  on what baud rate the user  calls
                       at.   <R#>   is  the  ratio  of  uploads  to
                       downloads,  and [RK] is the ratio of uploads
                       in K to downloads in K.

                       If you only specify a download limit for say
                       300, 1200 and 2400 baud, the download limits
                       for  the  higher baud rates default  to  the
                       highest  baud rate specified,  in this  case
                       the limit set for 2400 baud.

                       If you specify a ratio by number (R#) value,
                       then the user will be required to upload one
                       file for every n they  download.  Similarly,
                       setting  the ratio by K will allow the  user
                       to  download only the specified kilobytes of
                       files per 1 kilobyte uploaded.


                       This is fairly complicated,  so look at this
                       example LIMITS.CTL:

                           5  35  0
                           10 60  100 200 350 650 900 5 10
                           20 90  150 250 470 750 900 5
                           30 120 250 400 600 900 1200
                           50 300 900


                       Security  level  5 entitles the user  to  35
                       minutes per day, but no downloads.

                       Security  level 10 entitles the user  to  60
                       minutes  per day,  100k of downloads at  300
                       baud,  200k at 1200 baud, 350k at 2400 baud,
                       650k at 4800 baud,  and 900k at 9600 baud or
                       faster. In addition, the user must upload at
                       least  one  file for every five  downloaded,
                       and may not download more than ten times the
                       total size of files uploaded.

                       Security  level 20 entitles the user  to  90
                       minutes  per day,  150k of downloads at  300
                       baud,  250k at 1200 baud, 470k at 2400 baud,
                       750k  at 4800 baud and 900k at 9600 baud  or
                       faster.  In  addition,  the  user  may  only
                       download  five  times  the number  of  files
                       he/she uploaded.

                       Security  level 30 entitles the user to  120
                       minutes  per day,  250k of downloads at  300
                       baud,  400k at 1200 baud, 600k at 2400 baud,
                       900k at 4800 baud and 1,200k at 9600 baud or
                       faster. There are no ratio restrictions.

                       Security  level 50 entitles the user to  300
                       minutes  per day,  and 900k of downloads  at
                       all speeds without any ratio restrictions.
