sorry, we just saw the flic last night.
But, I am reading a telnet char based server from a weighing device. The
macro code shows it is sending me an
STX chr(2) and a ETX chr(3). I find the ETX and act upon it but never see
the STX
The actual Comm transmit loock like:
.002%e // <STX>
10%e //TX ID
%e80.125%e //BatchSeq Number
,%e
%e80.145%e //Station
,%e
%e80.117%e //Date
,%e
%e80.63%e //CycleTime
.003%e // <ETX>
Most of the above is incomprehensible to those not acustomed to the GSE
macro language but the point is that I do catch the ETX but never see the
STX. Even with Ethereal, it never appears. Is there a certain format that
Telnet requires to publish an STX. I could make use of a forward delimiter
if I had it. And then....
