There is no newsgroup, but there *is* a mailing list.
Info-XMODEM@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.  It is for the discussion
of the X/Y/Zmodem protocols.  WXmodem has also been discussed there.
Send email to Info-XMODEM-Request@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL to ask to be
added to the mailing list.

With the exception of Kermit, which can be obtained from Columbia
University, these are all available via anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20's
PD3:<MISC.PROTOCOLS> directory.

We have the source for Chuck Forsberg's Y/Y/Zmodem for Unix and
VAX/VMS, in directory PD3:<MISC.ZMODEM>.  WXmodem source is available
in PD2:<MSDOS2.MODEM>.
