In my sollution, the syncronization is done by the other calcs. you send
the bit a full lap around the net, and the bit effectivly acks itself.
Could be slow with many calcs though, not tested it.This is about the same scheme as the link uses, really, only that the bit
only passes through one other calc instead of several.
