THE KERMIT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL assumption about speed, duplex or flow control. It does assume, however, that: (a) all
printable ASCII characters are accepted as input to the host and will not be transformed,
(b) a single non-printable character can be used for synchronization (generally, Control-A),
and (c) if a host requires a line terminator for terminal input, it is a single ASCII character

You might ask why do we need a protocol? There are two major reasons why a protocol (that is, user bits / baud rate.)
