unsigned char dummy,speed;
dummy
= getchar(); // Get ESC
dummy = getchar(); // Get STX
dummy = getchar() << 4; // Get upper nibble of address
dummy |= getchar() & 0x0f; // Get lower nibble of address
if(dummy == our_address)
`
dummy = getchar(); // Get command
speed = getchar() << 4; // Get upper nibble of speed
speed |= getchar() & 0x0f; // Get lower nibble of speed
dummy = getchar(); // Get EOT
