The issue at hand, objects etc, are part of the AX25 'data' field
which is generally 8 bit binary on all hardware devices so this isn't
an issue.   The discussion pertains to the payload of the AX25 packets
- not the make up of the packet and its  header.

Actually there is an amusing side effect to this.  It's now appears we
can generate 'object' names that will control some Kenwood radios.
This is going to be fun..   :-)
