[plug] OT: Data check digits

Yup. Thats what I'm thinking too.

Quick warning also. I'm gathering this is uploading some sort of file to a

If so *be careful!*. That first packet with file name MAY have a physical
address to upload to. Get that wrong and you could permanantly give the
pda brain damage.
