2.32 is an MS-DOS Kermit version number. MS-DOS Kermit runs on DOS, not
UNIX. If it's DOS, you can install the current version of MS-DOS Kermit:

If it's UNIX, you can install the current version of C-Kermit:

If you are developing an application based on obsolete or inappropriate
software, you won't be able to get any help in case you encounter problems.
