Using numerical methods, self-consistent solutions for electromagnetic waves propagating in a cold electron - ion plasma are obtained for amplitudes covering the whole range from the classical limit to the extreme relativistic region. For the three principal modes of strictly periodic solutions - longitudinal, linearly polarized and circularly polarized waves - the dependence of the cutoff frequencies on the amplitudes is discussed for different ion masses and several values of the parameter u0, which is related to the drift velocity of the plasma. In the domain of intermediate wave strengths, which is here investigated quantitatively for the first time, some unexpected features arise. Their possible relevance to the propagation of pulsar waves is pointed out.
