From hpt.texi:

"tossing packets of 2, 2.0 & 2+ types"

and..

"PKT password is limited to 8 characters, this is PKT 2+ limit."

That is all I found in that document regarding packet header types. A search
for "2.2" returns nothing, and a search for "2+" returns the two above lines.
That was all I could see on the matter.

hpt does come with a "pktinfo" program I may be able to run on one of his
packets that fails here. That may lead to more clues.

Regards,
Nick
