Interesting!  A few years back, when first making presistent names for 
Ethernet devices, I found that names longer than about 8 characters 
failed. Didn't investigate further and 8 is a weak approximation.  
The limit can just as well be 12.  Certainly would be wrong to impose 
such a limit for a name which can be based upon a MAC address.

Thanks,                      ... Peter E.
