Sync issue when host sends multiple signon requests

f34rdotcom · web-flow · commit 4d469a681d9f · 2018-10-24T17:06:35.000-07:00
If the host sends a signon but does not get a SYNC response it will send again. This will lead to being out of sync with data in the rx buffer that is not consumed. To avoid this we consume all extra host bytes before sending a INSYNC reply.
