I can help with part (1).  I have seen a fairly thick paperback book called
something like _The Kermit File Transfer Protocol_.  It is written by the 
original developers of Kermit, so is very detailed and explicit in its 
description.  I don't recall the author's names, but I'm sure Caltech's
libraries would have it.
