There's a file named xmodem.c.Z in pub/ArchiveVol1/unix-util/xmodem at
apple.com  (130.43.2.2).  If the kid is programming, he probly won't want the
program, but a specification to write one.

For a spec, there's a file named xmodemSpecs in /pub/specs at
tybalt.caltech.edu (131.215.139.100).

These are the first ones I got, but it may be available somewhere else.  Now
you just have to FTP the files to get your points :-)

As the question is frequently asked, I will add a few lines to say that you
could also find specs for ymodem and zmodem at simtel (26.2.0.74) in
pd2:ms-dos2.zmodem or in mirror at 128.252.135.4 (mirror of simtel).  I would
suggest you to try the mirror, since simtel is very busy.

Hope this helps
