    Wait refers to the amount of time required to transmist at least x many
    characters.  In this case it is 3.5 characters.  Also, if we recieve a
    wait of 1.5 characters at any point, we must trigger an error message.
    Also, it appears as though this message is little endian. The logic is
    simplified as the following::

        block-on-read:
            read until 3.5 delay
            check for errors
            decode

    The idea here is that we implement the RTU protocol, however,
    instead of using timing for message delimiting, we use start
    and end of message characters (in this case { and }). Basically,
    this is a binary framer.

    The only case we have to watch out for is when a message contains
    the { or } characters.  If we encounter these characters, we
    simply duplicate them.  Hopefully we will not encounter those
    characters that often and will save a little bit of bandwitch
    without a real-time system.
