In SBBSecho, each link can be configured with a preferred packet format. Of course, that only works for explicitly-configured links. Otherwise, it just defaults to stone-age type 2 packet generation.

<shrug> I'm not saying there is a need. I can theorize packet and packed-message header improvements all day long, but I don't know if that means there's a factual "need". -- digital man (rob)
