Zusammenfassung:	Described is a system and method of communicating between first and second nodes connected by a serial link wherein the data is transmitted between the nodes in the form of packets made up of multiple bit frames. Each packet that is correctly received by the second node is acknowledged by means of a pair of multibit frames. These frames may be interleaved among the frames making up any outgoing data packet that is being transmitted by the second node. The technique employed provides unambiguous acknowledgment of each data packet and if a data packet is received incorrectly, the packet is available in a buffer in the first node for resending.
