Hey chad if we change it to 7 or 8 instead of 6, it still
replies the 6 character message.
I have been searching and from what I have found and
heard. I guess this cannot be changed, which doesn't make
sense if you are trying to lock down your network. If I
do find something I will let you know.
Thanks
Juan
