Hi Jeff,

two years ago there was an exhaustive summary of a similar request:
http://mailman.uib.no/public/corpora/2010-August/011367.html

But check the list archives (or Google) for
"sentence (splitt(er|ing)|boundar(y|ies)|detector)" or similar.
There have been a couple of threads during the last years.

Regards,
Sebastian
