Hi andrew,

 GB>> Apparently there is a 32 character restriction.. it may only be a
 GB>> proposal, though, not a spec, so don't quote me.

 ac> There is no FTS-xx document specifying a restriction on the length

 ac> FSC-0077.001 ("Type-10 Packet Proposal") restricts the tearline
 ac> to 35 characters (including "-+-").  It is a proposal and is only
 ac> relevant to systems generating Type-10 packets (if any exist).

I thought as much.

Regards,
Grant
