Getting reliable Serial.read()'s without a stop character

PaulS:
Yes, but by the time you add all this stuff, converting the data to send to ASCII and sending strings is much simpler.

Right PaulS.

Out of curiosity, how would you send ASCII data (Null terminated) for a range of required values going from 0 (included) to 255 (Included)? Would i have to arbitrarily remove a value from this range (So only 255 different values can be sent) and use the arbitrarily chosen value as a delimiter?
