Try WTran8x. I have had good luck with it. If you still have problems,
the problems lies with your hardware. I have used this program on
computers ranging from Pentium 75 to Cyrix 686/P-200+ systems. It
worked most of the time, but with some of the computers I had no
success. You may also want to try Cal or Link85xp with a DOS 5.0/6.0
boot disk. Good luck!
