DVX Hostname length

Hi
Does anyone know the max length of the hostname field on a DVX? I have come across a problem where a telnet session to set the hostname gives the error 'Line to long' or something like that. Netlinx Studio says 'Unsuccessful' when trying to set it. Yet I remove one character and it sets ok. My hostname conforms to the standard (starts with a letter and contains no special chars). If it is 19 chars long, it wont accept it but at 18 chars it does.
Hostname/nodename standard says it is capable of 255 chars but I can't find anything on hostname length in the AMX docs.
Thanks
