------------
The exact, formal, official specs are published: the book "Kermit,
a file transfer protocol" by Frank da Cruz, Digital Press, 1987, ISBN
0-932376-88-6. Columbia Univ is a good contact point on supplies. The
Kermit protocol is a rich one and not something one runs off on a few
pages of dot matrix printing.
There have been superset additions made to the protocol since
publication and those are held as text files on kermit.columbia.edu. The
list's FAQ is also there and worth reading.
