For Year 2000, you need a new version of C-Kermit. See:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/year2000.html
for details. The current version is 6.0:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
For best results, you should build it from source code rather
than use a prebuilt binary, because there are numerous (albeit
unconfirmed) reports of binary incompatibility.
I'd also recommend you try C-Kermit 6.1 Beta, whose followons
will soon become the supported version:
