Hello Nicholas, In fact it is LineMode that does that for you. You only need a character there that is not in the data (or a character sequence). Other approach is to send packets with fixed length, or have a byte / word / dword in beginning of packet with the size, this can be binary if it is binary data, but if it is ascii data then I mostly do a size in hexadecimal notation. I write it every time again because in all cases it is a little different :)
