The document I got was "Kermit, a Simple File Transfer Protocol
for Microcomputers and Mainframes", by yourself and a Mr. Bill Catchings.
I'm sure this isn't the most up-to-date document (1983), but I didn't
have much time for research unfortunately 8-/. I will definitely have to
pick up that book though. I didn't mean to imply that I had to reverse-
engineer the Kermit protocol; the doc actually seemed quite clear.
As someone has already told me in email, Telix's implementation of Kermit
may very well be broken.
Thanks for the book reference.
