It's quite possible too that once whatever is fixed in order for hpt to read it
as a legitimate packet, that may possibly be fixed as well. That's where the
trial and error comes in. :)

I believe those are the fields as well. Looking at FSC-0039 (if I remember

Agreed.

Sounds good. I'm ready when you are.
