No... there's not much in the packet header at all, just where it came from and where it's going, date, time, password, and other stuff. The CRC checks are done separately. I thought it'd have a length check at least - but no. It's a bit slack, really, but I suppose the most likely place for packets to be damaged is during transmission, and ZModem does that anyway.
