Is there a limit on number of records we can import into Outlook Contacts?

I am currently importing ~1500 records, somewhat standardized in an Excel
file on old Win98 PC, across a Catg-6 cable network in our office, into our
new Dell WinXP PC. Perhpas next time I should copy the Excel file over to
the new PC, I'll bet, and import from that local file!

The Progress screen seems hungm with cute pages floating across the top, but
showing caption,
"Importing Contacts from Pager into 'Contacts'

I'm suspicous of progress, but I did Export all current Contacts to a .pst
file before I started...
And I have closed all spreadsheet handling files on both PC's. So I do not
believe any other software is hanging up the transfer.

Advice?
