I think you are asking: how can Kermit transfer 8-bit data over 7-bit
communication links? You can find the answer in the Kermit protocol
specification:
Frank da Cruz, "Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol", Digital Press /
Butterworth Heinemann, Woburn, MA, 1987, 379 pages, ISBN 0-932376-88-6.
Your school library probably has a copy.

Yes to both. http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/. You'll find the FAQ in
"Further Information". Also by ftp to kermit.columbia.edu, kermit/FAQ.TXT.
