Let's see, I've been using ASCII for better than 30 years at this point...might be why I recognize ENQ and ACK.
I just did the easy way - Search, MSN, ENQ and ACK

ENQ [The Jargon Dictionary]

ENQ
ENQ /enkw/ or /enk/ [from the ASCII mnemonic ENQuire for 0000101] An on-line convention for querying someone's availability. After opening a talk mode connection to someone apparently in heavy hack mode, one might type SYN SYN ENQ? (the SYNs representing notional synchronization bytes), and expect a return of ACK or NAK depending on whether or not the person felt interruptible. Compare ping, finger, and the usage of FOO? listed under talk mode.
Same tools, but I would've had to do 2 searches, one to figure out it's ASCII, and a secodn to find an ASCII table. Took a lot less than 9 minutes!
No big deal, but you don't think I actually memorize this stuff, do you?
