Did you double-check that they didn't want "0200" in ascii
in the message?

As in:

STX0200................ENX

Because that's always possible.  And, if you're _lucky_, they designed
the innards of the message so that "ENX" can never appear at random.
Though with a length parameter, you shouldn't have to worry about
that...though with a length parameter the ENX is redundant...

Argh!

I'm having flashbacks.
