hmm.. interesting. I have to try that. 4 lines to change in my pic program
too see if it still works :)
I thought the sender handled both lines, that is what I have read, and had
working when I used it. ofcourse, If I _also_ bring the other line low, it
wouldn't change the function, else then that I do unnessesary work.
If it is like this, then we can't use the bytesender on the 89, too bad,
but not an extreme loss..
I will research it.

mmm, or both a start and an end and infinitly long packets :)
a lot of options. I guess hands on experimenting is best to decide.

that is a good idea. the problem is synchronization. who will start to
send? who will be next?
this could ofcourse be solved with always filling up the adress space from
the bottom, and let them send in order.. also have a "I have nothing to
send" packet.
