Hey Nicholas!

 NB> Not sure if that helps you any.

Not really although it does tell me that hpt is not reading it as type 2.2. 
The datetime stamp is a dead giveaway.

 NB> I couldn't find any physical capability words

I am not sure what you mean but I think fields 6 and 7 might be what you're
thinking about.  I have a bash script I wrote to test the first 58 bytes of raw
pkt files in an attempt to distinguish the pkt type.  It seems to work but was
based on the document neither of us seems to be able to locate on the ftsc
site.

 NB> Information is a wonderful thing.

Especially legitimate verifiable information.  ;-)

Best of luck finding that.  We've both tried that on the FTSC_PUBLIC echo in
the past without any success so I figure we're on our own.  I think we can
crack it.

 NB> Seems as though BBBS may do the same thing in this regard.

Yes.  I can confirm that as well as it is broken wrt original type 2 pkt
headers.  That happened about a dozen years ago or so.  Again there was NO
documentation I could find to reflect the change and I had to do ye olde
reverse engineering to figure it out.

Oh well ... back to the drawing board eh?  I'll fire off a warning shot here
when I have something worth testing.  I plan to first look at the bash pkt
determinator and see what I can learn from it before hacking headers.

Life is good,
Maurice
