[]
EOF is indicated by position x of the packet containing ASCII character x.
Example:   3 data bytes, so positions 0,1 & 2 have data, and position
3 contains an ASCII 3, and this character is repeated for the remainder
of the packet. This condition sets the receiver to expect this to be the last
packet.  If the sender then terminates, the receiver knows this WAS the last
packet, if not it just happened to occur that way!
