I-Modem protocol

I kind of half asked this once before, but it was stuck in on another
thread, so I think it was overlooked.

Does anyone have info on how to use the I-Modem protocol for data
transfers? (that's Eye-Modem). All I have been able to find is that it is
a protocol designed for long distance, slow connections. So it sends a
packet, and doesn't wait for a check. Rather it just sends all packets,
and at the end, the recipient sends back a list of bad packets to be
resent. The idea is, it will be faster when sent over a high latency
connection.

I *think* the protocol was created by John Friel. I base that off the
little info I was able to find thru multiple different online searches
(google being the most useful).

What I am looking for is the specs needed to write an implimentation of
it. I have a system that can only send files via i-modem, and I want to
write a new program to talk to the server. Right now I use Procomm Plus
1.1b since it is the only application that I have found that supports
imodem. I would like to write a custom front end to the system, so I can
make access safer, easier, and more automated.

If anyone has specs, or source code for imodem they can send me, it woud
be very helpful.

Thanks
