Well you could still send the heartbeat to indicate you're alive. Esp
useful in a windows environment I think :-)

Configuring a desktop app is less of an issue in anycase - this is

You shouldn't have any cause to include embedded STX/ETX's in your
message body anyway!

PS. I'm not ignoring the various requests for source code, I just
