Dude! Where's My STX?

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....
