You would need to be clairvoyant to write a Kermit protocol implementation
without reading anything about it. Two suggestions:
1. All the information about Kermit, including references to books, etc,
is at the Kermit Project website:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
2. Don't bother writing a new implementation; just use one of the many
existing ones, such as MS-DOS Kermit for DOS or Windows 3.x;
Kermit 95 for Windows 95, Windows NT, or OS/2; C-Kermit for Linux, etc.
Or use one of the products that are already on the market for communicating
between PCs and HP48s. I think the HP48 already comes with one, doesn't it?
