Dave,
 
You are correct: only Login Requests and Login Responses are allowed during
the login phase.  Until FFP, any other PDU is protocol? error.  The use of
Text PDUs were removed when we revised the login procedure as there were no
benefits for using different PDUs (i.e. Text PDUs).

Subject: iSCSI Text Request 

Before full feature phase is entered, is it valid for an initiator to send a
Text Request PDU for parameter negotiation purposes?   In other words,
are only Login Request PDUs and Login Response PDUs allowed during 
the login phase?
 
I believe iSCSI draft 9 only permits Login Request/Response PDUs
during the login phase, but we've noticed that some initiators violate
this restriction.
