From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   XMODEM
  
      The "Christensen" file transfer {protocol}, probably the most
      widely available protocol used for file transfer over {serial
      line}s (e.g. between {modem}s).   XMODEM uses 128-byte {packet}s
      with error detection, allowing the receiver to request
      retransmission of a corrupted packet.   XModem is fairly slow
      but reliable.
  
      Several variations have been proposed with increasing packet
      sizes (e.g. {XMODEM-1K}) and different error detection ({CRC}
      instead of {checksum}) to take advantage of faster {modem}s.
      Sending and receiving programs can negotiate to establish the
      best protocol they both support.
  
      Standard XMODEM specifies a one-second timeout during the
      reception of characters in the data block portion of a packet.
  
      Chuck Forsberg improved upon XMODEM by developing {YMODEM} and
      {ZMODEM}.
  
      [Chuck Forsberg, "XMODEM/YMODEM Protocol Reference"].
  
      (1995-02-02)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   XMODEM-1K
  
      A version of {XMODEM} using 1 kilobyte {packet}s.
