[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Desqview and 2 comm ports

werner@aecom.yu.edu (Craig Werner) (12/24/89)

	The manual doesn't address such a screwy application.
	Desqview handles background communications very nicely.  However,
could one be running a BBS on COM1: while using Crosstalk to dial out on
COM2: -- two asynchronous protocols going on simultaneously in separate
applications? Has anybody tried this?  (This assumes two phone numbers.)

I know that people were running 3-node BBS's under deskqview.  You will need to make sure that both applications are not swapped out of memory.  (That's where expanded memory is nice..:-)
