Nodestream for D6 Pagination Issue

Hello,
I am working with an install of Nodestream (D6 version), and I am having issues with getting pagination to work. I have tried several modules, including Pagination (Node) (which I have used in the past, but NOT with Nodestream) with no success. Other modules have failed as well.
What I am looking for is:
1. Making Pagination (Node) work with character count pagination
2. Another module that will accomplish the same thing, automated paging.

My requirements are centered around automated paging, which is what the site uses 95% of the time.

I have configured the content types, tried different settings, flushed the cache and ran cron several times...all have failed.

I am thinking that this is maybe a configuration or code issue, but I am not certain. My Nodestream install is out of the box with very little modification, except for other modules that are required. We are wanting to move from ProsePoint to Nodestream since it is more in line of what we are looking for, but this is almost a deal killer. There is a lot of content that would make the page a mile long.

PLEASE HELP and Thank you
