I always thought maybe we should change the spec for the session and
presentation IDs so that if a value equal to or greater than 0x2000
is read, it's just ignored in favor of a default. So if you just
start sending ASCII characters the 00 00 00 02 would be assumed.
Granted this would limit us to 8192 sessions and presentations
instead of 32768.
