If one is using the #define MBX_CALLCHECK feature the minimum is 3
and maximum is 6. For complete rules (I got this from K2MF Barry),
please check the source file callval.c, it documents them.
Otherwise,

Not NULL.

Structurely speaking, that would be MBXNAME = 20, the area
name (which one would not login to anyways) is AREALEN = 64
characters. These are defined in mailbox.h header file.
> -- What characters are allowed
Alphanumeric
ALSO : K6FSH had some tactical callsign checks in callval.c as well.
