Subject: CRC-8 algorithm

I have a need for an 8-bit CRC algorithm (transmitting up to about
20 bytes, CRC-16 would be overkill, and I'd prefer a CRC rather
than a checksum).

There are various CRC-8 polynomials in use, what would people
recommend? When I need a CRC-16 I use XMODEM &1021, when I
need a CRC-32 I use PKZip &EDB88320.

Ta.
