-----------
Only if
a) Control-A is used as the start of packet character, and
the checksum is correct
b) this pattern can never exist in real data
c) the other end is willing to send idle NAKs
The S packet material is vital, is not nearly so short as you
have describe, and must not be broken into pieces.
Unfortunately, none of a..c is a requirement. Maybe your friend should
also examine the protocol specs carefully to see the variations. In general,
there is no safe pattern.
