   Telink is an extention of xmodem.  Tom Jennings (developer of
   FidoNet added the extention to carry file status information
   such as name, size, and date/time created/modified.  The
   FidoNet protocol uses it for file transfers (sealink is being
   added to the protocol to get throughput up higher for long
   distance calles).
