Okay. Some communication devices talk to each other, despite
there not being any particular response by the other party?
Do not modems talk to each other, before any actual message
or data is sent? And fax machines, training each other?
A broadband signal is broadcast, saying "Look! Here is a message!"
In order for the message to be received, a signal is sent
back, saying "A message! That's nice! Give it here!"
I believe that is called a handshake? Is this not a valid method
of validation? Only authorised receivers can download the
message? It could be the handshake that is traced. Sort of
like a Star Trek hailing frequency thingie.
