Greetings Matt Welsh,

I hope it is not too late to respond, and provide some feedback about TEP113


In [ 3.6 Packet Format ] the last sentence is about description of protocol
field (P) of the example shown few lines above. It is said there that value
is related to SERIAL_PROTO_ACK form the "Serial.h", which is correct, but in
same time the hex and decimal values that are shown in sentence and in
example are the original ones 0x40 (64) as they are in HDLC or in TOS1. In
TOS 2 in "Serial.h" they are different, so I think in the TEP113, the real
value 0x43 (67) should be seen, no matter that the example is not exactly
real one. This also leads that the protocol example - should be with values
from TOS2 too, like:

``7e 43 09 00 be ef 05 7d 5d 06 01 02 03 04 05 7e``
