[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Desqview and multitasking

kevins@CIE.UOREGON.EDU (03/02/90)

 
This is a very simple question for which I cannot get an easy
answer.
 
I am running a 286-16 with one meg of ram on board and 2 megs
of EMS on an aboveboard.  The minimum ram I can configure my
motherboard to is 512k (very little backfilling here).  Using
Desqview, can I multitask a communications program like telix
to allow background file transfers?
 
Please email a response as no one on earth can read the 300+ daily
