RE: MTA MIB draft06 - pktcMtaDevProvKerbRealmName - objec t SYNTAX - AD Comment 31

Bert,

As I indicated, the sentence "This object value is used as an index into the
pktcMtaDevRealmTable." in the description of the pktcMtaDevProvKerbRealmName
MIB Object is wrong and will be deleted in the next revision of the draft.

I hope the last sentence is true.
Because usning an SnmpAdminString that can be up to 255 octets is problematic
because an OID (including the index) can not be more than 128 subIDs
