I went one step further and removed the two instances of "fidonet" in your type
2.2 packet header, and ran pktinfo on it. Most everything came back normal
*except* it seems you're including the nets for the points:

[snip]

PktInfo/lnx 1.9.0-cur 14-08-16

Pkt-Name:       582903ae.bad
OrigAddr:       1:153/7001.153
DestAddr:       1:154/10.154
pkt created:    Wed Dec 31 17:59:59 1969
pkt Password:
prodCode:       00ff
prodRevision    0.0

-------------------------------------
A 19:19:31   There are 313 bytes of unknown data at the end of pkt file!

[/snip]

Not sure if that helps you any. I couldn't get any good information out of the
2+ packet since I couldn't find any physical capability words like I did the
two "fidonet" instances in the 2.2 packet.

Regards,
Nick
