: Should the data stream produced by the transmitter be a continuous stream (ie. no gaps between packets) or should if be bursty?

: If it is to be bursty, then:
: (a) what should be the state of the differential outputs between packet transmissions?
: (b) and how should we decide when to send a packet and when not to?

To simplify things, lets have the transmitter always drive Se0 when it is
not transmitting a packet.

To signal the transmitter to send a packet, connect one of the pins
to a switch. Toggling the switch should signal the transmitter to send
a packet.
