Hi,
I'm new to this newsgroup so apologies if I'm in the wrong place.
I have been using Kermit on my PC to remotely access our mainframe. I have
recently upgraded my PC to a HP Vetctra VL (P166MMX) with 47M Ram. The
system has a sound card as well as a CD-ROM Drive, running Win 95. When I
enter Kermit from the DOS prompt I instantly get a 'divide overflow'
message.
Two of my colleagues have identical systems excluding the MMX chip and
manage to run Kermit okay. A third colleague has a Vectra VL (P166MMX)
minus the sound card and CD-ROM and also gets a 'divide overflow' message.
>From this I conclude that it probably is the MMX chip causing the problem
(maybe Kermit cannot handle the increased processing speed). I have not
found anyway of slowing the processor down.
Is there anyway that I can get around this problem?
Thanks in anticipation,
Gary B
