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
