The best I can think of is ``qSymbol:'' - an initial empty symbol to get
things started.

As with the other packets, it will need the ``set remote XXXX-packet
enable/disable'' command and logic to detect when it was simply ignored.
If it was ignored ("" vs "OK"), it shouldn't be retried.

Could I also suggest moving the code doing the work in:

to a separate function and adding a call to it from remote_open_*(). As
far as I know, that will cover all cases

Don't forget the doco.
