[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need Protocol for Kermit etc.

mms00786@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (05/07/89)

Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup, but can someone tell me where I can get
protocol documentation for Kermit, Xmodem, and other popular communications
programs? Any information will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Milan

	I can only help with KERMIT.  In June 1984 Byte magazine part one
of "KERMIT: A file-transfer protocol for universities" is printed pages
255-278. Part 2 is in July 1984 pages 143+.  

	This documentation was good enough for me to be able to implement
a working version of the kermit protocol.

Hope that helps

The protocol descriptions for X/Y/Zmodem are in directory
pd3:<misc.protocols> on Simtel20.

The Kermit protocol description is available from watsun.cc.columbia.edu
(Kermit's home).
