:
MS-DOS Kermit has a calibration loop to determine the processor speed.
If the processor is very fast, this can happen. The cure for this problem
is almost always to pick up a newer version of MS-DOS Kermit:
MS-DOS Kermit 3.14:
Anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu
directory kermit/archives
binary mode
file msvibm.zip
If you had a previous version of MS-DOS Kermit, and you
want to install the new version over it, first make safe copies of
your MSCUSTOM.INI and DIALUPS.TXT files, as well as any other
file you might have modified.
Then unzip (with PKUNZIP or equivalent) using the "-d" switch to
preserve the directory structure. Then read the top-level READ.ME
file for further installation instructions.
MS-DOS Kermit 3.15:
Anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu
directory kermit/test/bin
binary mode
file msk315.zip
Put the ZIP file in your Kermit directory and unzip. This gives you
MSK315.EXE plus some update notes, MSK315.DOC. To test, run MSK315 rather
than KERMIT. It uses all the regular MS-DOS Kermit 3.14 initialization
files, subdirectories, etc, with no conflicts.
