As for using the serial ports,  a library that I have used and been pleased
with is SVASYNC which provides low level asynchronous communication
functions.
It is available in v2misc or v2tk (sorry I can not remember precisely) at 
any DJGPP site.(like simtel)

As for protocol specs,  I have seen,  but did not archive,  code for many
of them.
There is a basic XMODEM program bundled with MicroC,  which should be
available 
from the same site as FreeDOS.

(If I had a working Archie client,  I could probably turn up something
concrete. :()

Anyways,  good luck.
