If anyone out there can get me the coefficients, I can deliver a program
that will do the crc-16. But working out the polynomial minus the
coefficients, well, I'll go with Barbie on this one: "Math is hard, let's
go shopping" 

Not impossible: assuming this crc is accumulated 16 bits at a time, there 
are only 2^16 possible polynomials, after all ... at least it's not some 
crc-32!

michael let me know if you don't get anywhere.
