You can't get rid of them.  The T> and R> are inserted when you
do a $ SET HOST/X29/LOG to indicate transmitted and received
packets by the PSI software.  PSIPAD has no concept of CRLFs
like RTPAD does, so it inserts the T> and R> sequences.  (Look
for the T> at the top of your example).

Thus, each packet you send is preceded in the log file by a T>
and each packet received is indicated by R>.
