Julian The sections you refer to describe Text Request and Text Response PDUs. Unless I've misunderstood the spec, neither of those PDUs can be used during login; the only PDUs that are valid for use during login are Login Request and Login Response. I was under the impression that login phase was a very simple exchange; initiator sends a single Login Request PDU, target replies with a single Login Response PDU, repeat until logged in or rejected. How can you have a key value span multiple Login Request or Response PDUs? Unlike the Text PDUs, the Login PDUs do not contain the fields required to permit text to span PDUs (target tag, final bit, etc.). So there's no defined way to determine a text payload is being continued in a subsequent Login Request or Response PDU.
