The current version of Kermit for UNIX is C-Kermit 6.0:

As you probably know, C-Kermit does not include X, Y, or Zmodem protocol.
However, it does allow you to select these as external protocols, provided
you have the appropriate modules (such as rz/sz, etc), which come from other
sources. The procedure for using external protocols is given in Chapter 14
of "Using C-Kermit", 2nd Edition:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60manual.html
You should also read Item 38 in the Kermit FAQ:
