Right; sounds like a good safety check to me. There should be no need
for an application to generate anything other than DATA. ACKs, etc. are
all hidden and handled rather nicely by your implementation. If there
were some reason to terminate an in progress RMPP send, would that be
handled by a cancel operation ?
