 Yes, it was getting a register frame: the first hex digit for the first
 register was 'E' !
 
 Good idea about the lowercase.
 
     Thanks

 remote_send is only used in four cases: p/P and g/G.  If you
 encountered it in one of those, I suggest sending back lowercase
 hex rather than uppercase hex.
 
 That does not invalidate your correct report; merely a suggestion.
