This is way out of date (but it isn't the problem here). The current
version is 6.0 ( http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html ) and 7.0 (
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html ) is in the final stages of
beta test.

I just tried it with Hyperterminal on my machine and it does the same
thing. Hyperterminal is sending the file timestamp as 19970201 00:00:07
regardles of the actual timestamp on the file.
This is not the only problem with Hyperterminal's implementation of
Kermit protocol. For a better implementation, you could try Kermit-MS
(http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html ) in a Dos window under
Win95, but this is not supported and may or may not work. The real
answer is Kermit-95 ( http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html ).
