Xon/Xoff is a method of handshaking that uses two chars (xon) and 
(xoff) to pace the flow of data.
When the recipient wants the sender to stop, it sends (xoff) to the 
sender. When it wants the sender to start sending again, it sends (xon).
Obviously the data stream can't contain the chars (xon) or (xoff) 
because it would be interpreted as handshaking.

Pull up an ascii chart to see the definitions of all the special 
chars defined in the ascii char set.
